Murder exists in our society - but I can assure you - it's NOT 'permitted'. Not to belabor the point but 'laws' are not created by 'polls' or 'norms'... To talk we have to accept standard definitions of terms.
That said, I'll give you the point on North Korea. What the Norks engage in is so close to 'slave labor' that it might as well be slave labor. You win that one.
Thank you. Not for agreeing with me on a small point (you disagree on others) but for your consistently cordial tone. We need more of that on this site. Myself included.
