Can you articulate why you believe this?

I spent 3 paragraphs articulating my opinion in my last post. Accept it, or don't.

but I believe laws, and the established punishments for breaking them, should be devised using a more logical reasoning system. One more in keeping with the magnitude of how a given criminal act damages others.

You say you believe this. Can you say why you believe this?

Some might warrant a restriction of privileges, others might be a matter for civil restitution. And while I can envision some crimes, such as murder, as being so grievous as to warrant the surrender of life, nothing on that list meets this definition to me.

In other words, these punishments violate your sensibility. Where does this sensibility come from?

Not to mention that the more casually death is applied, the easier it is for someone with an ulterior motive to conceivably twist common actions to construe that someone committed a crime worthy of death.

Why would you think this is a bad thing?
