I don't have daughters. I know if I did I would have been a tough first-meeting-Dad with her date. But I really think that rape, under any circumstances, is a crime at least equal to murder, and I wish it were possible for American law to permit the victim or her father -- or any appropriate surrogate (an uncle, a family friend, a boyfriend) -- to determine the method of execution.
