death penalty and terminal stupidity

In today's The New's Journal (Wilmington DE) correspondent Sharon Brackin argues that convicted murderers should not be allowed another means of appeal. Rather 'their suffering should be equivalent to what they caused.' Or, as she writes, ' We should use methods comparable to what the murderer used.' Er, hang on Sharon, let's think about this, if you're capable of thought. Somebody commits a crime, namely taking away somebody's life. You are proposing that in response to the crime of murder you should commit the crime of murder, magnifying it by massive premeditation and the recreation of the original means of denying life to another human being employed by the murderer , such as slow suffocation, stabbing, beating, etc. Can you not see the illogicality of this (not to mention the barbarity!)? Are people on the right side of the law not expected to be a step or two up from the criminal? Apparently not. I hope you don't cross my tracks Sharon, because I dread to think what your 'eye for an eye' approach to human interaction entails in your day-to-day existence.
