What Might be Possible

Decimate: "...from the Latin, decimate, "to take one in ten."  In Roman times,  standard punishment meted out to groups of soldiers guilty of cowardice or mutiny one out of every ten was selected by lots and put to death."  - Stephen J. Gould Imagine what the world would look like if we took one out of every ten people when someone did a mitzvah or act or righteousness....people would practically stampede to be recognized for goodness. Just imagine.
