While I think the people of Omelas are justified in that we must understand what suffering is in order to properly keep it out of society without falling into decadence (i.e. the need for a permanent revolution as people like Trotsky have advocated), I think it's wrong to do it that way because it unfairly screws over a single person. A much better model would be like Fallout's Great Khans tribe; in New Vegas they talk about how members are initiated by getting their rear end kicked.

This is the lesson people need to learn:

Anything beyond that is needless cruelty.
