If it's the former, then you as a student of the US Constitution, should be able to answer it both ways and find equal footing for both, regardless of your own personal beliefs. If it's the the latter, I don't think you'll ever be satisfied with the answer if it doesn't align with your ethics/morals. That's not a cut, that's just the divisiveness of the issue.
I read through the thread and I think Sliver has expressed his points just fine. The bottom line is you don't agree or aren't satisfied with the response.
My own opinion on death row: anything is better than the system they have here in California - biggest death row in the country with such an extensive appeals process that the costs to execute are incredible and the wait for satisfying bloodlust is ridiculous.

It's not that I don't agree, I was just hoping to hear more on the whole 'I'm fine with vengeance' viewpoint. I don't understand how people can accept that as a rationale for something in the justice system, but I was hoping to maybe get an insight into the thinking. It's certainly a divisive issue, and I certainly have my own point of view, but I still like to hear actual arguments from the other side of the aisle.
