...but in this country we have funny ideas about punishment being proportionate to the offense.

Yes, I know. A murder offense (no priors) of 20 years can be reduced to 3 years with good behavior. The punishment for breaking laws is too lenient.

If we execute drug possessors as you recommend, what shall we do with murderers?
