Kinda terroristic and criminal governments, often enough. And when you consider the lives saved by having hospitals or food safety regulations or whatever, criminals and terrorists are doing nothing positive at all, so these "statistics" seem kinda off.

The threat is in not dealing with politics before it deals with you, and a good way to do that is seeing "the government" of a democratic nation as something totally separate from a citizen in that nation... instead of getting engaged because it's so messed up, to disengage further because it's so messed up.
