It's a *good* thing that you wished that racist boulder into the cornfield, Anthony. It's a *real* good thing.

Who is Anthony Fremont? "Six-year-old Anthony Fremont has godlike mental powers, including mind-reading. He has isolated his town of Peaksville, Ohio, from the rest of the universe. The people must grow their own food, and supplies of common household items, such as bar soap, have been dwindling. He has blocked television signals and caused cars not to work. He creates grotesque creatures, such as three-headed gophers, which he then kills. Everybody is under his rule, even his parents. The people live in fear of Anthony, constantly telling him how everything he does is "good", since he banishes anyone thinking unhappy thoughts forever to a place that he calls "the cornfield." - Wikipedia plot summary of Twilight Zone episode, "It's a Good Life."

With these traitors to our rights, these connected persons who will ever remain a danger to our democracies. We know what our constitutions say, and so we know that we are legally obliged to treat them as our fellow citizens and only punish them when duly convicted of crimes, but quite frankly, we know we would be better off if they just got ostracized, exiled to some lonely island like Napoleon was. Blacklists are probably what will be needed.
