I used to think old-fashioned public hangings were a terrible anachronism, unacceptable in our “enlightened” age.

But I am starting to think for certain crimes, there is real justice involved, and great cathartic value in actually seeing a demon destroyed.

I vote for flogging followed quickly by burning at the stake.

I think we were more enlightened when we had public hangings. They should be brought back, and not 20 years after the crime.
