We're Killing Ourselves

It must be what it means to be human because humans killing other humans is as old as our species. It is obvious that a plethora of excuses are used to justify the exponential increase in humans murdering other humans. Murder is defined as the killing of a human being under conditions specifically covered in law. Our American hubris leads us to think of statutory legalism because we have dismissed wholesale such intangibles as "God's law". Our species has yet to practice the prohibition against murder because we have focused our attention upon justifying it. There are no amendments to the Ten Commandments, and we would do well to start trying to figure out why this is so, rather than dismissing the ultimate moral code of ethics as invalid. It is time to stop the hate by the power of love which radically embraces zero tolerance for murder--of any kind.
