It is a truly disturbing sight. They - completely - put the "perpetrator" in a sack, tied above the head. They then bury the "criminal": up to the neck if a man, up to the armpits if a woman. The townspeople surround the "field" in a circle, also surrounded by many palm-sized rocks, which they pick up and chuck at the "evil-doers". Here's the trick: if the "lawbreaker" can manage to dig themselves out - while bound IN A SACK, BURIED, and being pummled with stones, the punishment will end. this is why the woman is only buried to the armpits, since women are natuarlly inferior to mena and all, and thus naturally not as able to free themselves. Good thing they have an out. Otherwise they'd be stoned to uh, death.

It would actually have made my Halloween a little less scary. All those things in your post are horrible, but very few things are as scary as a 2 year old on a 3 hour tantrum. For just a moment yesterday I thought there might be something to the whole demonic possession thing.

I am truly ashamed of the direction our country is heading.

Here's the kicker, unfortunately the door to the parking lot may as well dump you into the church too-- in America, what's the difference anymore?
