Well, what you were saying was true on one level. I'd have to really reformulate my statement to stand by it.
But from a purely utilitarian standpoint, I do believe that the System or the Machine or whatever you want to call it is the greatest threat to human happiness.
Now, I think most murderers and such merely perpetuate the System. They play their role as "dangerous criminals" justifying the paychecks of "law enforcement". But a murderer who managed to kill in a way that seriously disrupted the workings of Liberal Corporatism might be, in a purely utilitarian sense, doing good for humanity, even though what he was doing was morally horrible.
