  17. "What then is capital punishment but the most premeditated of murders,
  18. to which no criminal's deed, however calculated it may be, can be
  19. compared? For there to be an equivalence, the death penalty would have
  20. to punish a criminal, who had warned his victim of the date at which
  21. he would inflict a horrible death on him, and who from that moment
  22. onward had confined him at his mercy for months. Such a monster is not
  23. encountered in private life." --Albert Camus, writer, France.
