"If retribution and justice are the same thing, i must have missed that part of my social studies education.
Why compare what amounts to vengence to a society's judicial system."
ah you missed what I'd written before... that's the point I was making, that retribution/vengeance and justice are different things in a civilised society. And that if you want the former, you shouldn't expect the latter to necessarily dish it out for you (eg a painful death in the electric chair).
