No, I'd say I'm more of a Libertarian when it comes to
individual rights. (Please note, I said "more of a" not "a Libertarian.")
*murder* to be micromanaging????
All things are interconnected, but you're connecting two things here that are lot less connected than others.
First of all you're claiming I believe some things should be considered "murder" when I may not, at least not legally. If you want we can get to all the specifics, although I wouldn't recommend it... the thread would be tied up in knots by us that way. As I explained in my post what is murder, and what isn't, is not black and white, as in the the example I gave of killing a guy threatening me with a banana. This is why, legally, we have seperate categories... unjustifiable homicide, manslaughter... These distinctions are proper and just, not that I'd ever say they're used that way by either over-zealous prosecutors or those on the defense side.
The rant about micro-managing was meant to be an overview of how I believe society should be set up, not specifically "murder" related. But when it comes to murder sometimes, yes... banning and/or prosecuting everything that either some majority of society or some minority believes should be considered murder would be micro-managing. Some consider war "murder," no matter how just the cause and how defensive the reaction. Some consider self defense the same way. Some consider killing animals for food a form of murder. I could go on, but point made. If society were set up so that everything that everyone considers murdered was illegal and prosecuted then we might as well execute ourselves and get it all over with. WAIT! I FORGOT! Some consider that murder too! Damn paradoxes, and I was so looking forward to sticking my fingers in the wall socket...
