Potpourri 3 - The Lottery

"It isn't fair, it isn't right." pg. 271

I would absolutely hate to live in this disturbed society. These people are all crazy. When I started reading this, I assumed the lottery had good connotation to it, because it does in our world today. However, I was wrong. Instead of the lottery being some lucky person wins a large sum of money, it was one unlucky person was going to be stoned to death. I just don't understand how this could go on in a living community, especially with children. The children even participated in the stoning of one unlucky person. The worst thing was that Mrs. Hutchinson's family partook in the stoning. They didn't even seem to really care that they were killing their mom/wife. If that were happening to someone in my family I would be going crazy retaliating.
