friends, call me over-sensitive, but i think that nobody should be
burned at the stake for anything in any country; i say this also because
this flippant kind of rhetoric poisons the reasonable debate that is so
urgently needed on the matters at issue here. (to the contrary, i am
glad that some civilised countries find forms of punishment other than
that for actual wrongdoing.) - unfortunately, in a world where people
get imprisoned and killed for all sorts of things, there is little room
for such dark humour... when all the stakes have been taken down
everywhere, we'll be able to laugh about this joke again, perhaps.

I agree. Thank you for the clarity of your writing in this thread,
much the best that I have seen on this subject.
