The US two party system is very different, of course. Here the people decides about who should rule them, but it is not reasonable to claim that the people rules itself through the political institutions. In comparison, I find that the standard European system is better, also as a model for global democracy.

According to deontology it is wrong to kill an innocent human being, period.

These theories, deontology, the moral rights theory, and utilitarianism, contradict one another. Moreover, they give conflicting (inconsistent) recommendations. It is hence not possible to hold them together, in a pursuit of moral truth.

The possibility to go on indefinitely with our lives may become a reality and it will present us with a temptation.

To kill or not to kill, that was the question that haunted me.

The kind of values for which I was supposed to kill, such as democracy and national independence, were better served, I thought, through non-violent action.

We own ourselves. This is the core of a libertarian theory of rights. But on this theory, while we are at liberty to kill ourselves (regardless of the consequences of others), we are not allowed to kill others, not even if this means that there we be fewer murders in the future, totally speaking.
