Entry: Freedom from shame? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/freedom_from_shame#32369 Post contents: I regard shame and guilt as a waste of time. If one intends to fight, one ought to fight. America was a better place when men could duel to the death over matters of honor. However, I am inclined to take up arms against anyone crass enough to stage a "Parade of Horribles." Assuming society wanted to teach a lesson in reduced social status to the pregnant girls, why not identify the fathers with genetic testing and punish them violently and publicly? Singapore uses public flogging and Massachusetts uses "Parades of Horribles." Which location do you think has better chances to survive and thrive? Sent at: 2008 12 01
