This is not concrete, it is flawed. You(!) first have to demonstrate that people and nations operate on the same rules and laws. They don't... <PLONK> Further, your 'distinction' actually begs the question in that your example was built to lead to your conclusion. <PLONK> Further, you need to demonstrate that A's ONLY(!!!) offense is blocking the driveway AND that that act did not itself perpetuate another event which COULD lead to an unintentional death or murder. Why was A blocking the driveway again?... <PLONK> On Tue, 15 Jan 2002, F. Marc de Piolenc wrote:
Okay, let's try a concrete example:
A commits the offense of blocking another's driveway with his automobile.
B commits murder.
Is A in the same category as B? If yes, then I have to concede the argument, because as you say the US government is not Simon-pure. I do, however, make a distinction.
