The burning of the effigy (note to writer, there is a difference btween a puppet and an effigy), is a cleansing act. There are communities (and countries) that actually care fir the well-being of their citizens.

Thank you for posting this, though. I think about it rather like (on a much smaller scale) the Emma Crawford Coffin Race, and the Fruitcake Toss.

Couldn't read the article. Not agreeing to anything on a NYT page.
