I agree that "eye for an eye" is utterly ridiculous. Two wrongs don't make a right (although choosing the lesser "wrong" may be the best option you can take).

Be mindful of resources. Are you willing to allow a problem to continue because it caused more damage than it was worth?

The death penalty is not a question of right and wrong, but of wether the people that committed crimes deemed worthy of a death penalty are worth keeping alive or not. I have a clever adaptation of the death penalty: make up the worth the person lost on dangerous portions of a battlefield/in a secret government lab running tests... or be killed to stop the problem from continuing a worthless investment in the person's life.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
