SHUNNING MAKES A COMEBACK

Who knew the people of Peoria, Ill., were such hardasses? (Thanks to Nose4News for the link)

It's been our observation that people have simply stopped listening to El Presidente. Now they can't even be bothered to stop chewing when he walks into the diner. Amazing. And high time, too.

From Wikipedia:
The shunning of an individual is the act of deliberately avoiding association with him or her. The historical punishments of ostracism and exile were forms of shunning. Today, shunning in an official, formalized manner is practiced by only a few religions, although it continues to be practiced informally in every sort of human grouping or gathering. Religious shunning is often referred to as excommunication.
