Seems a little unfair, but...

I look at it as a variation of the "sins of the father are visited
upon the son" cliche (See also ST:TNG and Worf's whole
neverending ordeal with the dishonor thing).

Wouldn't the Trill be a better analogy--paying for the sin of "past
lives"?

Hadn't thought of it that way. Klingons come to mind more readily than Trill
for Trek-based examples. ^^;;

And, in all fairness to the citizens of Chin, they just wanted Aang to
leave, HE was the one who wanted to clear his/Kyoshi's name; and he agreed
to go by their laws.

This is true.

Back at the mockery of a trial, Aang spins the "Wheel Of
Punishment",

Wheel of punishment, turn, turn, turn...

Will we be eaten, or beaten, or burned?

Oh! Good one. Thanks.

Anytime!

and the town changes their Avatar Day celebration to an
event celebrating and honoring Aang...

So, it's a town of malleable assholes, bascially...

So THAT'S where the Goatse guy came from!

Why, ELL, why? What have I ever done to you...?

YOU ATE MY G-FORCE! *sobs*
