In Bill Whittle’s Afterburner video “Live Free or Die”, he goes through the recent crash that happened at Reno Air Races, and the predictable outcry of the statist that followed. He then gets into something very interesting: “the socialism that you promote so vigorously has probably killed more people than the combat fatalities of all the wars all of humanity has ever experienced, combined”. The order of things that have killed humans are:
- Disease
- Socialism
- War
“I think the greatest evil in the world is to be given something that entire galaxies of stars don’t have: the give of life, of being alive. Of weighing and accepting risks in order to see and do things that dead things and living dead people can not or will not do, and therefore do not want you to do either.”
