I have not made a comparison from which you can characterize my position. Yet you presume to do so anyway. That is why you are so amusing. I will now characterize my position: I believe the death penalty should be used sparingly for premeditated murder of a particularly heinous nature. I think there are times in our history when we have executed too easily, and there may be states where they still do so. I have not examined the situation in other states, to speak with precision on the practice elsewhere. I do think that the death penalty is inappropriate for most offenses, and that it should be the result of a fair trial, with the right of appeal. I express concern when it is suggested that someplace is violating the terms I have laid out, but I have made no close study of it, and rarely refer to it as a criticism of another country. So my position is #4, that is acceptable for all nations to use the death penalty, as long as it is used sparingly, for particularly heinous acts, and with fairness and discretion in trial, sentencing, and appeal.
