[Vision2020] Death to Vermin!

[Tony]

Ralph, nice try but your requirement would eliminate the option of 
civilization entirely.  Any system of justice is going to include mistakes 
as it is administered by fallible human beings.  There is unfortunately no 
getting around that reality. That a system is imperfect in no way argues for 
it's elimination.  Perhaps you would prefer anarchy to civilization?
