The Center for Artificial Indifference

I, Billy, Take Thee, Nanny…

February 26th, 2006 | Category: Laugh Out Loud, Realities

This story from the BBC is not only hilarious, but also provides a real-life example of what an efficient system of justice can accomplish at little or no cost to the people. Too bad our system doesn’t provide for such expedient handling. We would have incarcerated the alleged perpetrator for months years through delay after delay in the proceedings, paying for his room, board, and medical care the entire time. Meantime, the goat would grow old, lonely, and tired of waiting and skip town with a dude named Billy.

Thanks to Joel at Pax Nortona for the heads-up on this warm and tender love story.

    Brilliant! Oh, that one made my day! Talk about the wisdom of Solomon - let the punishment fit the crime…
