I would not be extremely opposed to calling it manslaughter - if
it were only a few instances. But these drug warriors HAVE to
know the outcome of their actions after seeing it repeated so
many times. I am talking about the inevitable results of
enforcing drug laws: rampant black-market violence and murder on
the street, not to mention the same and worse in prison. Jon said
it great, but a drug warrior does not have to be a Thoreau to be
fully aware of the daily devastating effects of their career
choice. Feel free to educate and edify them to your heart's
desire, geof, but let's not excuse criminal oppression.
Regarding "evil", I believe you are confusing the religious
definition with the more scientific one. Scientifically, it's
only prejudice/ignorance/fear-induced harm. And I don't believe
anything fits the latter definition quite as well as the drug
war.

"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

So, if they are doing it unconsciously, is the appropriate
response to
condem them as murderers? Does the definition of murder, as
opposed
to manslaughter, not require intent, which would have to be
conscious?
Why must we condem those with whom we disagree as evil? That is
exactly what the anti-American Left is doing. It is also EXACTLY
what
Islamic extremist terrorist are doing. Does it not make more
sense to
educate and inform these unconscious Americans?
By alienating those with whom we disagree, we condem the
Libertarian
party to 2% status.
