Wrong equation, not all the members of X (or Y, for that matter) are willing to fight to defend the status quo. Nor is it necessarily the case that Z will be less than Y, either. The proper analysis is of which group will be best able to compete for control of the State, and whether that competition will be peaceful or violent. >I also think it's more efficient for a single police force to >protect rights... Then you clearly believe that the USA ought to have one single nationalized police force, instead of a motley collection of competing police agencies at the Federal, state, county, and city level.
