But the words "murder" and "killing" are used almost interchangeably by many/most Americans.

OK, try me.

If you take my worldview, much of which many of you know of from my years of posting in this forum, you'll know that it does not come even close with aligning with either major party in the United States. It's unfortunate, but I'm also realistic enough to know that I likely will never get such an alignment. I'm also realistic enough to know that the American form of government brutally imposes a two party system, and in almost all cases voting for a third party does, at best, jack shit. So what does that leave me with? Well, the best I can manage, since I don't fully trust the agenda of either party, is to vote for gridlock, and ensure that no one party holds all the branches of power in government. That naturally leads to a lot of ticket splitting on my part. I'll let you judge for yourself as to whether that's "an expression of critical thinking", but I would like to hope that it is.

"New York's attorney general Eliot Spitzer, declaring himself a "fervent federalist," is using state regulations to prosecute corporate abuses that George W. Bush's Department of Justice won't touch. While the federal minimum wage hasn't budged since the middle of the Clinton era, 13 (mostly blue) states and the District of Columbia have hiked their local wage floors in the intervening years. After Bush severely restricted federal stem cell research, California's voters passed an initiative pouring $3 billion into laboratories for that very purpose, and initiatives are under way in at least a dozen other states."
