I also am very tired of hearing (and saying) it ... but it's
very true.  Many states (notably Texas) execute a large number
of convicted criminals each year.  It most certainly is NOT a
deterrent, it does NOT protect society any more than life
imprisonment ... it only satisfies a blood lust, and in my
mind is murder by the state.  "One man's murderer is another
man's purveyor of justice."
