Sir, if what you said were true death row inmates wouldn't be allowing
their lawyers to file appeal after appeal to stop their executions
from going forward. Do you see most of these men volunteering to be
executed rather than spending the rest of their life in prison?
Respectfully, you're flat out wrong here. When we don't execute those
who have willfully and premeditatedly taken the life of another, as a
society we make a statement that we value the murderer's life more
than that of his/her victim[s].

Cordially, Marie

That block of text speaks for itself.  It represents an "ideal", that we
should punish people according to their deeds, lest we set a bad example for
others who commit said deeds, when we fail to punish some of them
accordingly.

Now, you can argue that that is not a "good" ideal, for yourself, but you
cannot argue that it is not an ideal, because it clearly is.
