RE: an eye for an eye, where do you stand?
I see it meaning that the response has to be based on the initial action. Someone causes a eye to be lost loses an eye. Death for death.

Although I'm not an advocate of reasonable response. I think that the response should be proportional but scaled up. So much that nobody wants to do that again. So steal £50. Pay £1000 or spemd a day in jail for every £100 owed with you still owing the money.

Proportional response is so PC, it encourages repeat offences.
