RE: If You Could Rid The Earth From One Thing, What Would It Be?
Rubbish. I fully expect a private security firm in a free society would do a better job of protecting me than the monopolistic security 'services' of the state. And most people who are killed are killed by government agents (armies, US police).
A private security firm is without government control is either called a warband, a group of thieves or (in the west) Mafia.
Regarding your second statement: While it is true that Police in the US kill more people per day then shots are fired by German police in a whole year, most people in the US that are killed by force are not killed by the army or police.
Police kills (depending on whom you ask) between a few hundred and less then 2000 a year. (here a detailed list http://killedbypolice.net/)
About 30,000 people are killed by guns in the US every year. One tenth of them are children, 60 percent of those get killed in their house, mostly by owners guns.
I dont know how many people are killed by the military, but I think its less then by police. So the number of "state death" is still slightly less then the number of children getting killed in their home by their parents guns.
