1) Interesting & encouraging thing happened at my daughter's school. 12 yr old boy called a girl a 'slut' & consequences were rather severe.

If we actually want justice, punishments need to be proportionate or ppl won't call on the justice system. Seems even kids feel this.

I know it's only me, but the whole concept of
#punishment is archaic & => failure. Softly takes longer but is deeper/broader. -
Its innate to us.

I disagree. :) That sounds like an excuse.
-
Its a fact. It may well be something that we need to get over but human desire for retribution is not archaic but innate.

Now looking at Pinker's 'Better Angels' for where he discusses proportionality in punishment.
-
Does he? I don't remember that bit! I'll find it. Does he agree with what I said?
-
I'll look. I've got it in e-book, so I can search pretty easily.

I have too so I can do this. Thought you meant you literally were looking at it at that moment!
