Another great example of the free-market, no regulations system that Rush and the right want. Only this time instead of the financial system its the buildings. That old Ronald Reagan nostrum comes to mind "Government is not the solution, Government is the problem." To bad Rush, Hannity and Walter Williams were not celebrating the new year in here. 64 dead. If only they had believed in the free-market system. But, maybe they did and the result is, the market took care of this inefficiently run club
Bangkok inferno puts spotlight on police payoffs - World Blog - msnbc.com: "BANGKOK, Thailand – The initial investigation into the pub inferno that killed 64 New Year’s revelers here makes for depressing reading: Not only did Bangkok's Santika Club have no operating license or insurance, there were no heat or smoke detectors, no fire alarm, no emergency lights, no fire escape sign and no sprinklers. It was packed with highly flammable material, electrical wires were dangerously exposed, windows were blocked and the main entrance was just over six feet wide, according to experts quoted in the local media.
It was, in other words, a death trap."
