Ding, dong, the bill is dead. Yes, that’s right: Holyrood’s much-trumpeted plan to pardon witches has now been dropped by the SNP,

It has been estimated that tens of thousands of people were
executed for witchcraft in Europe and the American colonies over
several hundred years. The exact number is unknown, but modern
conservative scholars estimate around 40,000–50,000.
Scholar Carlo Ginzburg of the University of Bologna, in his work
Night Battles, estimates the number between 3-4 million people.
Common methods of execution for convicted witches were hanging,
drowning and burning. Burning was often favored, particularly in
Europe, as it was considered a more painful way to die. Prosecutors
in the American colonies generally preferred hanging in cases of
witchcraft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_executed_for_witchcraft

After I read that I did a massive parallel soul alignment,
aligning each so executed who has not yet reincarnated
(and hence is either in the afterlife, and still could
reincarnate, or in the beyond afterlife) with a pentacle
pendant worldwide. (I have crossposted this to some
other newsgroups, and those on those groups may be
interested in other posts in the original thread on
alt.buddha.short.fat.guy .)
