Murder, nope. Rape, maybe, but even that's not all bad for everyone involved, as sick as that sounds. That makes it subjective. Hey, maybe tossing out radioactive waste with the bath water? That really can't help anyone or anything.

Are we to confine morality specifically to effect of behaviors on humans? What about mosquito rights? Cuz I been slappin' them big time.

That's subjective. Tongue

Fuck, I said I was leaving. I swear. I'm leaving.
