This is why I'm a libertarian: these horror stories will only stop once people take responsibility for their actions. A part of this responsibility is not allowing other men to commit immoral atrocities in your name. We're all responsible for these deaths.
I'm not responsible. The government has nothing to do with me. They are a racket that steals my money at gunpoint, nothing more. If a thug steals my money on the street and buys some bullets with it and shoots someone with them I am not responsible. If I cheered the thug on or made excuses for the murder that would make me pretty immoral which is why I don't defend the government at all.
I'm arguing from the standing point that, since we do not act as a society to point out the thieves and murderers for who they are, we in turn accept that they are a legitimate institution and that their special rights are consistent with ethical behavior, which I don't believe it is, not even a little. I realize that it is currently impossible to actually prevent ourselves from being swallowed whole by the state if we now decided we'd no longer support them, but this only motivates me more to alert our fellow man that we're being duped; divided, we are powerless, but together, we can make a difference, and we can then finally resolve this 10,000-year-old problem.
