I found this a real good read in support of the 2nd Amendment.

Kasey Kasem notes that the election of Bill Clinton is at #31 and rising fast(I'd use top 40 lingo and say "with a bullet", but I don't want a visit from the secret service or any of the couple of hundred Million Moms).

Sorry, but I see a pattern here. Plenty of killing in countries ruled by communist parties, dictators, tyrants, military juntas, atheists, and fuehrers, but none in countries ruled by a God-fearing people.

That's why I was so startled to discover that there is absolutely no pattern to the chart.

Au contraire. Re-examine your data: there are NO democracies among the top 25 countries. Therefore U.S. foreign policy of the last 50 years, that of encouraging democracy, has been vindicated.

Note how the genocides occur almost exclusively in nations marked by godlessness or Islam? Where God isn't, Death is.

I'm not ascribing this necessarily to religion per se, but to the morality that derives from religion. And in the Peace Sweepstakes, it would seem that Christianity is emerging as the top contender.

Read Rudy Rummel's "Democide" web page (you can find it via a Google search). This guys numbers go pretty light on the communists. Rummel shows higher numbers attributable to them.

Rachel Carson has arguably caused more human deaths than any other person in history. Her book, Silent Spring, created an anti-DDT frenzy among radical environmentalists, resulting in the banning of the pesticide, and the deaths of millions who died of malaria throughout the world.

Bump.

Eloquent, relevant, and exact.

Then why does Hollywood make only “Holocaust” movies about mass killings?

But then, what isn't?

Funny, I thought global warming just had to be in there somewhere...

The degree to which socialism is actually carried out, regardless of the carrier belief which sustained it , predicts the death rate rather well. I suspect the degree to which capitalism and democracy is allowed to flourish would have an opposite correlation.

I wonder why there is no account of the 1.5 Million Armenians (added to the several hundred thousand Greeks) exterminated in the Asia Minor Holocaust by the Turks between 1915-1923.
