On Moral Equivalency Idiots. I have noted some sponge headed extremists that attempt to draw an equivalency between a lawful state execution and murder. These people surely are making an argument, albeit unknowingly, for anarchy. That may seem an extreme statement on it's face, but let us look at the argument closely. They ignore the fact that laws have been written passed for the crime of murder and in some cases the punishment is execution. They argue that the execution is also a "murder". So what of the cases of life imprisonment? Isn't that, by the sponge head liberals definition, a kidnap? Thier reason would make all arrests, kidnap, as well as all incarcerations. Fines would be stealing. The list can go on and on. There is a difference between committing an act in violation of the laws of the people and enforcing the law of the people. There is no equivalency, there is no argument to the contrary, but by people with little or no analytical reasoning.
