forget the whip! bring back the stocks!
You know the real fear of the stocks? it had nothing to do with public
humiliation. It was all about after dark, when nobody was around, and
you were bent over in the perfect position. You'd have no idea who was
railing you!
Frankly, I think that's even better than whipping.
