It's not a catch-all term to criminalize the behavior of people you don't like. Unless you're OK with police and prosecutors targeting any behavior they don't like as "negligence".

RainMaker wasn't saying there WAS a negligent action, just that he thinks if your actions lead to the death of another person you should be held liable (given that "negligence" has a precise legal definition perhaps that's not a word we should be using). Which is a good idea IMO.
