You said it all better than I could. It's not that I don't 100000% understand the concept, and catch myself thinking that at times because it's a very sort of gut reaction that honestly makes a lot of sense -- but as you said, the idea that the govt. is in the business of killing people as punishment just seems backwards to me, and wrong.
