Now it matters what we say (above and beyond libel) and murder isn't just murder. It matters what a person thinks during the murder. Somehow killing one person is more heinous than killing another based on ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc?

In a bigger picture, the rejection of static law, as was understood through the laws of nature and of nature's God, will also bring about a most to all destruction of freedom's expressions.
