That's true I suppose, because no matter how you're brought up, if you had any kind of love for your mother, you wouldn't stone her to death. And if you had any love for your children you wouldn't eneter them in the lottery... Is their happy family 'love' just a two faced lie then? I reckon so.
Also, all the crowd were saying out loud how they hoped it wasn't that 12(?) year old girl. Whereas I bet they were actually thinking that if it was anyoe other than them then they'd be happy, including the girl. I strongly suspect that they'd stil not have hesitated to stone the young girl if she was picked anyway.
