I don't subscribe to the moral blindness or moral equality stuff. I think it's reasonable to say that a typical dude from China isn't any more nuts than someone from Japan or Korea. The major difference between these countries is whether there are a disproportionate number of loonies in positions of power and how much it matters.

Sure, but how do you think loonies in power stay there? Good men do nothing, or too many given to wishful thinking vote for rogues. There are whole peoples who make worse use of full freedom than others. Part of freedom is the freedom to screw things up.
