Ink dipping punishment

Ink dipping punishment

We managed to hold a general election that was relatively safe
and fair, one that was without any serious incidents or violence
as previously predicted. However, we still have something to
worry about i.e. the slow counting of the votes.

One interesting thing in the elections was the use of special
ink to mark a voter's finger so that he or she could not vote
twice. The (brown) ink would not disappear for at least two or
three days. Some females were very much disturbed by the use of
such ink because of its nasty look after they dipped a finger in
the ink.

Perhaps we could use this type of ink for other purposes. The
next government should produce ink to mark a criminal's hand. The
ink should be so strong that it would not fade away for years.
Then a wrongdoer would always remember the sin he or she
committed. The disgrace that should to be experience from
committing any sin would prevent one from engaging in bad
conduct.
