Most American's don't get that we have more to fear from an over powerful government than we do from terrorists. So we need to give them a simple historical perspective so they 'get it'. .........................................
Over past 100 years or so, worldwide...
Number of dead at hands of own government: >200 million (mostly Russia and China)
Number of dead at hands of terrorists: <100,000 (this is a guess and may vary on definition of terrorist.....I need a hard number from someone)
So, who should we fear more? Government or terrorists?
Russia and China have no bill of rights for their people. We don't either, since the bill of rights must be respected in order for it to be effective. Clearly, that is not happening. So, should we worry? Absolutely!! ...........................................
Is this simple enough for people to understand?
