I understand your sentiments, and respectfully disagree.

I've read accounts of public executions. Most do start off as you describe.

But they end alot different. Makes people think. Makes people protect their loved ones. Makes them try to find some common ground to work together, rather than celebrate some fictional, overblown diversities.

And in a strange way, reinforces the blessings and sanctity of an honest life.

I don't know what to say. You've elevated public execution to the level of spiritual and cultural balm.

Hell man, we have churches, civic organizations, fraternal...all with the above as a stated goal, and you think it can be accomplished with public execution? I honestly don't know how to intelligently respond. I'm simply stunned.
