That would be a very errr ... unsubtle way of reminding them that there are worse things in this world than loosing elections and power.

I advise against it. Even with DFL mayors in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, I very much doubt that pitchforks, torches and guillotines are within city ordinances for public demonstrations :)

You may be right.

Even so, it has been fun to think about some design improvements on the old-fashioned guillotine--like using compressed air to help accelerate the downward path of the blade and perhaps a hydraulic snubber to control the run-out. Or maybe just roller bearings ;-)

With a nod to the movie "Fargo", perhaps a wood chipper would be more apropos.

Then you could make up some effigies that were stuffed with monopoly money, and run them through the chipper.
