I agree that I think they were scared about how people would percieve them if they did say that there shouldn't be a lottery because when it's mentioned that some other town is thinking of stopping it, they mention that they'd be almost heathen like if they did. I think they would be almost banished for even thinking it. But I think that a lot of people still think that there is a good reason for it and that is why they don't try and protect the person who is up for death. They worry that if someone doesn't die the entire community will suffer. Thought they'd rather it not be them, they won't stop it from happening.
