Really, we surely kill people BECAUSE they talk and not in spite of that? By which I mean, when someone talks they make another human feel threatened, and so the knives and then guns, bombs etc start to fall. Would it be easier to kill a pig pleading for her life if we also disagreed with her about something, if she'd verbally challanged our most fondly held beliefs? Oddly, my comment verification for this is "vpray" - weird!
