Burning alive as a form of execution was reserved in English law for traitors and women who killed their husbands, and who were thus considered traitors. The women were usually stangled first, as one article in an 18th century newspaper assured its gentle readers.<br />In effect, Engish forms of execution and torture were milder than those of the Continent. The German forms were especially gruesome. In all countries, but especially England, the mood of the crowd could cause the executioners to give it up. When several men were drawn and quatered during the reign of Elizabeth I, for treason, the crowd was so horrified by their sufferings that the remaining prisoners were dispatched more quickly the next day, without the embellishments.<br />The execution/torture practices in the American colonies were even milder. <br />Witches were hanged, and one accused male witch was pressed to death under boards, trying to get a confession out of him.Execution 101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-11130981249936952812012-08-20T18:45:36.702-07:002012-08-20T18:45:36.702-07:00"So, would you try to convince me that it'...<br /><i>"So, would you try to convince me that it's actually an act of "self-flagellation" and "fake humility" when a good portion of black males and some white males shave their heads, revealing bumpy, knobby skulls and oft-times rolls of fat?"</i> <br /><br />Maybe the hair is a bit warm on their heads.

But there must have been some "self-flagellation" also, and possibly lower-middle-class hatred of the old upper classes. It was the upper classmen of 1880-1920 that had the elaborate hair and beards. Some of this attitude can be seen in the term "long-hair" for classical musicians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-60748199929532858372012-08-20T14:45:01.960-07:002012-08-20T14:45:01.960-07:00"If he came right out and said things that we..."If he came right out and said things that were congruent with his research, all of his valid work could likely end up on the junk heap of "psuedo science", and he could be end up a discredited academic.

I would thought if it's on your face it would be soft and silky. <br /><br />My cat has a coat that is short and soft. He feels good to pet. Why aren't beards like that? It would work just as well as a sign of sexual maturity. Maybe when we get just a little more control over our genetics men will opt for beards that feel better and require less care.<br /><br />I grew a little monkey beard last year. Some people call them goatees but they look more like the beards of chimps than goats - so monkey beard. I grew it to add interest to my aging face. A little beard is like a big beauty spot. Women just have to let their faces sag. A man can always experiment with some ornamental hair.<br /><br />One theory about the origin of the myth of the Amazons is that the Hittites who had invented steel could shave. They shaved off their beards and appeared in battle to their enemies like some sort of bellicose women. There are other theories of the Amazons but this is my favorite. It leaves open the question as to why the Hittites bothered with shaving at all? If a beard is natural. Why shave it off?<br /><br />When I first saw the Samurai trilogy I was surprised that Mifune shaved his hairline on the top of his head back to the level of his ears. This looked very strange to my Western eyes. This seemed to support the idea that what you shaved and didn't shave is completely an arbitrary cultural choice. But that can't be it. Almost all cultures - including the Japanese - shave the male face and very few shave the parts of the head. A completely shaved head is popular with many cultures but partial shaving of the head like a Mohawk haircut is usually only for marginal people making some kind of statement. Your doctor or lawyer won't sport a Mohawk.<br /><br />So we are left with the question as to why do we shave off our beards?<br /><br />The Romans shaved or grew full neatly trimmed beards. They held the "hairy lips" (moustaches) of the Gauls in contempt. Putnam here has what might be called a reverse moustache. To my eyes, like Steve's, it carries a bushel load of connotations. Why?<br /><br />This moustacheless beard style sends a signal - patriarch in an extreme religion. Recognition of the human male hairline and beard line are obviously built into our genes.
