Govts kill millions (actually approaching 100M in the last 100 years) and you equate that with the equivalent of a weekend's worth of drunk driving. (And then there's Ted Kennedy....)
And no, it isn't "rich or govt". For all your bleating, Larry Page, Larry Ellison, and Bill Gates don't give a damn about me. Meanwhile, every pol wants a piece.
Your "only option" doesn't work, so it doesn't much matter what would happen if it did.
"Govts kill millions (actually approaching 100M in the last 100 years) and you equate that with the equivalent of a weekend's worth of drunk driving."
Governments kill millions? You seem to confuse governments with wars. Or you mean "kill millions of their own", like, say, Pol Pot? Then you confuse government with dictatorship AND civil war at the same time. Sure, dictatorship is a form of government, but we were talking about representative democracy here.
Historically, every time the governments have gone to war has been to make some rich people richer. It's not called the "military-INDUSTRIAL" complex for nothing.

Exactly. But that's not in your favor. It's just that you are an ant to them, and they can crush you whenever they want if it serves their interests. From Bill Gates illegally bribing and extorting PC makers, to Larry Page using his search monopoly to pollute the results and crash the competition.
There's always an excuse when a govt kills millions.

Not even close to true.

Actually, it is. They don't bother because it doesn't "serve their interests". Govts do.

to make more money and sell windows pcs for less than market rate. Wow, I was hurt.
The problem with the "buy a market" strategy is that you never actually finish. As soon as you stop buying and start trying to make "extra profit", competitors appear and undercut you.
You do know that breaking up standard oil INCREASED prices to consumers. It was basically a move by railroads to raise their rates.

You're seriously claiming that Google gets users by giving them worse search results?
