Do You Think...

...that people are morbid enough, in this day and age, that if hanging again became an official government form of execution, people would have hanging parties, like back in the day? Back in the day meaning like 16th century England and whatnot. At a hanging, you'd bring the whole family, a picnic and rotten veggies to throw. Good family fun. We act all horrified by that now, but I wonder if that's really the case.

I was having a similar thought last night. I was wondering if I would be entertained by an old Roman gladiator battle. I think I would be.

Of course nothing like that will ever happen again because nowadays we can't even torture chickens before we eat them (and we all know tortured chicken is delicious). What a shame.

I'd go if the "hangee" was worth it! I always have rotting veggies anyway, I'd finally have a use for them.
