"A Modern Day Stoning"
by Anonymous

This is a story about something that could never happen to your or me,
especially not in this day and time... or... could it??

Wow, I had a weird dream. Dreamed I had
been invited to a public stoning.

Funny thing was, I arrived and the man to be stoned wasn't there.
In fact, an armed guard had been posted to make sure he couldn't be
there.  The centurion even had photos of the man and his family so
he could identify them if they tried to enter the arena.


But this was, at least, a civilized stoning.  Men wore ties and women wore nice outfits.  Cookies and lemonade were being served.  I guess it doesn't work well to stone someone on an empty stomach.

And real stones weren't being used; rather  words written years ago were substituted.  Strangely, the people who were said to have written the words weren't there either.  A special counselor read the words. It was, all in all, a very efficient and effective stoning.

I got to thinking, our police and courts have it all wrong.  If they would simply operate that way they could put a lot more people in prison and in the electric chair.  Unfortunately, they have this stupid piece of paper called a "Constitution" to abide by which won't let them do that.  They have to actually give people something called a "fair trial".  How silly of them.

Oh well, time to go back to sleep, I suppose.  But first some lemonade and cookies, perhaps.  As soon as I wash the blood off my hands...
