"In the last century, governments have murdered more than one hundred
million of their own people. From the killing fields of Cambodia to the
fire bombing of innocent children at Waco, governments have murdered more
people that all other criminals and crime syndicates put together. In
fact, it's probably about one hundred to one. Yet somehow we think that
these people are there to protect us from criminals and we willingly give
up our means of self-defence to them."
