Blogging is Torture.

The forms of exucution used in Shakespeares times consisted of a number of things. Things like the rack, used to stretch a person. Also a device called the scolds bridal which was an iron cast for your wifes head that had a spike that went into the mouth to keep her from talking back. Hangings were very popular and ducking stools were used to dip "witches" in to a cold lake until they drowned or confessed. If the witch confessed she was burned at the stake. These forms of tourture and exucution do not justify the crimes committed. If anything they just made people more angry and more likely to be violent.
