Let's shoot people for speeding and jaywalking. Let's chop off the
hands of shoplifters, too. Let's stone queers in the public square.
There are legal ways to drive and cross streets and acquire goods and
get married, right?

And I know it doesn't seem very extropian, but let's set the ignorant
on fire, too. If the ignorant were burned at the stake, I doubt as
many suggestions like this one would be passed around.
