   In your usage, 'people' and 'human' are essentially   
   synonyms, so you're not saying much.   
      
   For argument's sake, I'll refine their meanings to   
   be:   
      
   humans: animals of a specific genetic makeup   
      
   people: humans that behave in ways that can lead   
           to and sustain society/civilization   
      
   Per that, *clearly* not all humans are people.

   Until they behave lawlessly. Then they should be   
   removed from the people realm so that people can   
   continue to benefit from their superior behavior   
   to the fullest extent. The degree of removal   
   should be in accord to the degree of the   
   incivility of their behavior, which of   
   course can include permanently if/when   
   they remove people from the people   
   realm permanently, and maybe in a   
   few other cases, e.g. incivility   
   against the helpless.
