I fear my government far more than any terrorist. Yes, terrorists kill a few dozen people a year. That is sad and infuriating. I wish we could stop them.
But my government can destroy my life, deprive me of freedom, rob me of money and the fruit of my labor, seize my property, invade my privacy for nefarious reasons, and overall tyranize me.
I will take the Terrorist over the Tyrant any day.
I have been making a similar observation for years- I tell people that I have more respect for thug with gun- at least I know his intentions- where as the govt with pen or warrant can wreck my existence for no reason
