Actually I don't think that most people want to murder - even if they could
get away with it. But I'm a humanist of a sort. I'm trying to get at the
reason that anti-humanists, or partisans of the anti-morality of the sort
encapsulated in the Foucault quote that started this thread, disapprove of
murder, assuming that they do.
