Bad Company For The U.S.

It's kind of funny how we put down so many people for being savages, yet we kill as a society more people than all but three countries in the World. Who are those three countries that are better at state sponsored killing?

(Reuters) - More than 2,000 people were known to have been executed around the world last year, the vast majority of them in China, followed by Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United States, Amnesty International said on Thursday.
It reminds me of that scene from Tombstone when the Earp's and Doc Holiday are standing with Sheriff Behan, and Behan and Wyatt are talking about how sophisticated Tombstone was becoming just as there is a shooting in the street behind them. We talk a good game in America, but when you look at the facts, we are not so much better than the people we daily refer to as our enemies.
