Interesting... I studied a lot of political systems in university and, while we were certainly taught that there were 'bad apples' on both sides of the equation, it was never generally apparent that 'Socialists (have an) absolute disregard for human life'... quite the opposite. I don't really recall any political system having a monopoly on the claim of being the only one to 'regard human life'. Bit of a super-extremist statement there... no? The NDP are socialists... do they have an absolute disregard for human life?
There's a difference between a political philosophy and what one person/group of people do in the name of that philosophy. People are killed in the name of religion every day... does that mean religion itself is evil, or that the people acting in it's name are evil?
