Eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

With witty law makers trying to get around the system, i think its very necessary to have this amendment. Not only does it establish a grounds where there cant be individuals shooting others for past crimes they have done for revenge but also it keeps balance with law and law officials. Also i believe we should further explain or include what the cruel or unusual punishments exactly mean to avoid states taking drastic measures which would be considered legal or fair in the state. If we don't fully establish this now we can see states do drastic things. For a speeding ticket one state might say you have to pay a fine, and another may require you to do some physical labor thats way out of context. In all we need to establish clear rules so no jerkoffs try to mess with the American way!
