I'm not going to disagree with Morales here. How many criminals could have been turned from a life of crime by the short-lived humiliation and pain of the lash? The trouble with many modern penal systems are that they are comfortable, and make it easy for criminals to avoid reality. Comfortable criminals do not reform. I am way past caring about the "barbaric" nature of corporal punishment. Let Morales use the whip: let's watch and see if it works.

I have always felt that a whipping in a public square would be the best punishment for certain crimes - like naming your child "Quaaneesha J'amahl".

Or the stocks!

What I wouldn't give too see a few unnamed politicians there waiting for my rotten tomato.
