Default Re: Socialism in the United States

LordFu, this proves nothing. All this shows is that government IS a threat to life and liberty, not that it is the largest.

First, you haven't even shown data of other sources of lost life, for comparison.

Second, even if you did, the fact that government EXISTS is already a deterrent to the other potential sources. I.e., we don't lose a lot of life due to foreign invasion in the U.S., but we might if we didn't have a government.

So you just can't cite these numbers and say that it proves that a country's government is the single biggest threat to the people in that country.
