Hum...

Why is it, that when someone of 'value' is killed, it's called assassination, but when the homeless man down the street is killed, he's murdered?

Society places unequal value on lives. Sure, they say "All men are created equal", right? Unless you're the homeless man living in the box, or even just a regular person in comparison to the President or something. Some people say that it is the contributions to the community that are the valued part. I'm sorry, what? Yes, CONTRIBUTIONS. As in, "Hey, that politician gave 10 grand to our city last year, we MUST find his assassinator!" vs. "Hey, that homeless guy took that box from my trash can! He was probably killed in a drug dealing argument!"

So, whatever we contribute to society should be what decides whether we were murdered or assassinated? It's not necessarily a "donation given to the city", or something of the sort. It should be more like, "Hey, this guy has a steady job, gives to charity, and helps out with his son's soccer team." Instead, greedy parasite politicians are counted as assassinated, while the good father and husband was just murdered. Where's the justice?

Assassinations get the headlines in the news. Murders are (unfortunately) everyday things. Not much we can really do about it anyways.

We really should put more count on what people do then what position (or how much power) they hold.
