Now this is a really important point, actually. Getting the whole town together to get somebody stoned is an important ritual. Such famous bands as "Pink Floyd" became popular largely because of getting together to get stoned. Imagine the poor musical diversity we would share had these young musicians failed to follow the simple guidance provided in Leviticus? For shame, Milu, you're asking for a good smiting over there...
