    I agree completely the kind of society that is capable of executing 4 million people is not one I would want to live in. And that’s not just because of the sacredness of human life but also because to do so there would need to be institutions set up to perform executions on a mass scale and institutions perpetuate themselves. Eventually we would be executing people just because

    Retributive justice doesn’t help anyone there is no amount of punishment we can do that will undo what they did we could build a machine to torture them forever and their victims families still would be missing the mothers, fathers, sons and daughters they took
