Two things can be bad.

  And I would expect many of capitalism's detractors would say that capitalism encourages cronyism. Personally, I think all governments of all persuasions have proved their ability to line their own pockets, sometimes subtly and sometimes with bare-faced shame. Many people think the go-to is more laws to try and dictate what is and isn't acceptable but that also doesn't seem to work, just creates more jobs and more money for the lawyers. I think the old adage, "don't curse the darkness, light a candle" is the best back-stop. If anyone knows a better way, do it and show how it is better, then others will copy it.

    You have to set the punishment high enough to prevent repetition of the offense. The death penalty seems suitable as great harm is done to a huge number of people. One bad move and democracies kill and maim millions.
