<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Donald, don't let emotion cloud your
judgment. If you don't like the punishment for the various degrees of
crime, then go to your legislator and have the law changed. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As far as a drunken driver killing someone, there
is, without looking it up, vehicular manslaughter, (15 years in the
pen), there is no such thing as "voluntary murder." Again,
without looking it up, murder is the unlawful killing of a human being
<STRONG>with malice aforethought</STRONG>. Voluntary manslaughter is
the unlawful killing of a human being <STRONG>without malice.
</STRONG>Dictionaries only go so far in a courtroom. At some point, the
legal definition </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>as written by the
legislature controls, not the dictionary.</FONT></DIV>

your quote:

<DIV> "Maybe we should all carry guns around in case we have a
small dispute to settle and are
too weak to use our fist or take a hit."</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Believe me, you would be extremely surprised how
many people in this country nowdays carry guns around in case he/she has a
small dispute to settle and are too weak to use the fist or take a hit.
It's best to not act on any kind of rage
nowadays. </FONT></FONT></DIV></DIV>
