Here’s me defending flogging for my favorite TV news show, the NewsHour.
It’s very interesting that the option of flogging over prison currently registers over 70% support in their online poll. This mirrors the earlier newser survey in which 63% percent thought is was “brilliant” and another 13% found it “intriguing” (20% clicked in one of the negative categories).
Hopefully that exposure will sell more copies. I can't say I agree with everything in the book, but this is a discussion that needs to be had.
