What do people die from in America?
Are Any Americans ever Killed by illegal Plants?
Or are More Americans Killed by Legal Plants?
Did you know: legal drugs are more deadly than illegal drugs!
How many are killed by cows, latex, vending machines, deer or balloons?
Do we make everything illegal that is deadly?
If something isn't deadly, should it be illegal at all?
Are plants really that dangerous?
~Plants are NOT Drugs. Plants are Medicine. Big Pharma Drugs are real Drugs.~
For comparison, a list of Americans killed in our Wars:
625,000-1,500,000: USA Civil War (USA & CSA), 1861
405,399: World War 2, 1941
116,516: World War 1, 1917
58,196: Vietnam War, 1961
51,112: Gettysburg battle alone (USA & CSA), 1863
36,516: Korean War, 1950
25,000+ Revolutionary War, 1776
13,283: Mexican-American War, 1846
6,825+ Iraq/Afghanistan Wars, 2003/ 2001
2,977: Bin Laden Attacks, Sept. 11, 2001
2,402: Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941
1,622: Spanish-American War, 1898
1,056: Northwest Indian War, 1785
314: Great Sioux War (Custer's Last Stand), 1875
189: Siege of the Alamo, Texas Republic, 1836
Historical Note: Official US Civil War Death totals included ONLY those soldiers or volunteers killed immediately on the battlefield. All those who died the next day from serious wounds, or died of infections a month later, were never counted in the death tolls at all, even though they died of battlefield wounds often in a military tent, while serving their country in war.
Abraham Lincoln was responsible for killing more Americans than all other US Wars combined since his death; actually twice as many! A hero in history books and therefore a widely beloved President, Lincoln was nevertheless the far deadliest domestic terrorist and war criminal in all of American history. He used violence, terror and murder to enforce his will upon his fellow Americans. Sherman's March through the Southern civilian countryside--burning houses, destroying crops, looting property and raping and murdering civilians--was a clear War Crime by Geneva standards, and yet we still named a US tank after him. For many Americans in the rural South, the Civil War still drags on. Resentment still lives. You cannot force people to think differently than you like. Imagine if we applied this ethic to marriage: then a man could kill his wife for leaving the union.

- Lincoln had no legal right to invade the CSA or to quarter soldiers in another country. The Civil War was morally wrong. Slavery is morally wrong. Using violence to make another person do what you want is morally wrong. Two wrongs do not make a right. The end does not justify the means, unless you agree with Hitler's morality. The real issue driving the North, besides its own entrenched racism, was their ongoing problems with runaway slaves. What do you do with them? If you return them to the South, that is cooperating with the institution of slavery. But allow them sanctuary and freedom in the North and then every black slave would run away there, but where there was not massive work or housing for them as in the tobacco and cotton fields of the South. So the South would have had to build a huge border security wall around the entire CSA... sound vaguely familiar? We have never finished or resolved the Civil War. It still impacts Americans to this day. That is the legacy of using violence to enforce your will upon others. Violence only hardens feelings.
