孙志刚:
2003/3/17-20 event, 4/25 newspaper investigation, 5/20 all suspects arrested, 6/5 trial started, 6/9 verdict delivered, death penalty included,
Even more detailed article: http://www.chinavalue.net/Article/Archive/2004/9/17/955.html
4月25日:南方都市报刊登《一大学毕业生因无暂住证被收容并遭毒打致死》一文。5月14日:华中科技大学法学院法学博士俞江与腾彪、许志永两位法学博士以中国公民的名义,向全国人大常委会上书,建议对《城市流浪乞讨人员收容遣送办法》进行违宪审查。“上书”指出人身自由是由《宪法》所固定的根本权利,是神圣不可侵犯的。… 5月23日:我国著名法学专家贺卫方、盛洪、沈岿、萧瀚、何海波联合上书全国人大常委会,提请就孙志刚案及收容遣送制度实施状况依照《宪法》启动特别调查程序
恰恰在我国“社会保障”程度完全成为负值的大饥荒时代,收容遣返工作却空前制度化并且强制化了
“收容”之网越撒越大,从流浪乞讨、卖淫嫖娼到“三无人员”,从农民工到大学生,从“盲流”到“非法上访者”,直到这次大学毕业、三证俱全而且有工作的孙志刚也死于“收容”之祸,以至酿成群情激愤,上达天听。
有材料说,仅广东一省2000年就强制收容58万人次,其中符合“规定”的,即所谓“流浪乞讨、卖淫嫖娼”仅占一成左右。
使社会弱势群体“不能因为政府行为而受到伤害”。
我们的“城市化”所为何来

希望我儿子这么一个血的惨案能推动法制建设,改变收容遣送现状,让更多有孩子出门在外打工的父母能够在家安心。”

The Henan AIDS problem:
Period: 1995 started survey, 2001 peak, as far back as late 1970s (WP, Hu Han Han)
Location: 上蔡县文楼村
1. Government knows about the blood sales problem in 1998-99, passed law (Hu HH) Average life expect. (Li Huiying)
2. News media bring the topic to the open; The first report lost his job (Hu HH)
3. A doctor: 高耀洁, 桂希恩
4. 卖血钱被计入农户年收入: 一名村领导来到了田某的弟弟家,一进门便问“你家的年收入是多少…,对呀,这不也算年收入里的项目吗?加上,那就算你家1500元了啊!”http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2005-03-18/13556124341.shtml, http://www.cnhubei.com/200503/ca708003.htm
5. 2007 still has blood trade. Institutional problem: 但在“遵章守法”中利用了制度缺陷,追究起来就不大容易。血头血霸屡屡出现在血站成为“献血”组织者,有献血任务单位重金购买“献血证”等等,都是这样明目张胆。然而,只要某个环节被卡住了,卖血就难以进行。

Compared to earlier time:
因此,因有偿献血河南HIV总感染人数应该是高限估计为47万左右,低限估计为14万左右,再加上这个时候仍存在的单采血站和大量数不清的地下血站,估计平均HIV感染总人数最低应该在30万左右。因此,我们认为,河南在19 94年至1996年期间,因有偿献血造成的HIV感染总人数应该在30万人左右。

吉林68名村民因卖血感染艾滋病多人死亡: 后来,政府以社会定向捐赠的方式准备捐给68名患病者每人4万元,建议原告撤诉,走和解程序。2004年的68名艾滋病患者索赔案以原告撤诉告终。

根据河南省卫生厅去年发表的统计数字,中国人口最多的省份万分之四的居民被检查出爱滋病毒阳性,这个九千二百六十五万人口的大省有三十七万人携带爱滋病毒。联合国昨日向北京发出历来最严重的警告, http://bbs.muwen.com/topic727/727460.htm
同一时间,卫生部统计显示:还有18. 7% 的传播途径不祥。http://club.beelink.com.cn/dispbbs.asp?boardid=67&id=157072
8. AIDS policies and official personal visits: 第二部分,中国艾滋病防治工作的进展。国务院总理温家宝和副总理吴仪邀请艾滋病致孤儿童到中南海做客,发挥了表率作用,各级政府防治经费投入力度进一步加大. http://news.qq.com/a/20071129/002934.htm
9. Law delayed: 《献血法》于1997年12月29日公布,自1998年10月1日起执行。而林峰在清水河县医院的卖血行为发生在1999年4月到2000年8月之间。清水河县医院的人员为此抱怨说,对于《献血法》,他们只是前几年在电视里看过新闻,但根本不知具体是怎么一回事。“我们直到2003年年底,才收到上级卫生部门下发的《献血法》及内蒙古自治区卫生厅制定的《内蒙古自治区临床用血规范》等各种文件,5年后才读到这些法规,什么都晚了。”
非法采血制造的艾滋血祸, http://yzdsb.hebnews.cn/20050131/ca457707.htm
10. ,“卖一次血400毫升给100多元,对于咱农民来说是个不小的数字。”每袋血医院会有300元左右的收入。把采供血机构作为盈利创收的第三产业,出现了‘建血站、采浆站热’要充分发挥河南人口资源的优势,推动我省卫生系统的改革。”http://club.beelink.com.cn/dispbbs.asp?boardid=67&id=157072
11. The legal perspective: 对于官司的公正性我们无法把握,农垦法院的财政支出都是靠农垦局来支配的。对此,周斌律师表示坚决不能退让,并准备必要时向全社会公开本案例对此问题进行讨论. http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2005-11-30/12158448683.shtml

The Fed is pouring money into economy like crazy. Are we in another Greenspan-ian Samsara now?
Some economists start to worry about inflation now:
“The good news is that this will take pressure off of housing prices,” said Kenneth Rogoff, an economics professor at Harvard University. “The bad news is that it will be very painful to squeeze the inflation out of the system when this mess is all over.”
Rogoff is an advisor to an econ professor in UW who I took an under class from. But the proximity ends there. If he’s a NBA star then I only play suburb pickup games. However, I do question his underlying assumption that excess money supply will cause board price level increase, particularly that of commodities (i.e. inflation by classical definition).
It is not what happened in the last/current cycle. After Alan G. dramatically increased money supply after 2001, inflation has been under control. The excess money went instead to asset speculation which is the root cause of the current mess we are in.
The problem with asset bubble is that it is no less destructive than inflation but is not as feared as inflation. Therefore, I am thinking, does it make sense to create some kind of index tracking bubbles in economy just like CPI is used to track inflation?
Here is an update:
The commodity price plunged today. Is this another bubble that is popping? So much money has went into the trade to hide from fading dollars and stocks. But that is not the worst. Most recent troubles all started with hedge funds taking highly leveraged positions in one sector or another. Given the recent momentum of commodity price, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the prices go down much much further as the hedge funds unwind their positions in a harry.
