Less violence is better than more violence, but it's not so abstract.
We're not talking about "The Drug System" we're talking about his
particular, little corner of it. Murder is binary, either you're willing
to do it or not. Violence can only be measured in degrees when you're
talking about people as some sort of abstracted commodity - I judge people
individually by their words and actions.
The willingness to commit murder to further your illegal business sets off
some major alarm bells for me, does it not for you?
