I keep hearing people bitching about the state of the union. Ed points out the direction we’re headed most clearly.

These things are obvious to me:

1: We will, as Billy Beck so plainly says, not vote our way out of this. No electoral process will ever return this country to the people who still believe in the original intent of the founders. Predominantly, as Billy says, because people are idiots.

2: There will never be any preponderance of elected officials worth the cost of the powder to blow them to hell.

3: Change is not coming. At least, not any change any of us will like. Anyone who thinks the electoral process will fix this mess is a fool.

In several places I’ve been asked “What are YOU doing?” If i suggest ANY course of action at all, it’s: “Shhh! don’t even TALK like that! it makes you JUST LIKE THEM!!” or “I don’t want to kill everyone who doesn’t think like me” Well, hell, I don’t either. I don’t have the time to waste on them. If I kill something it’s because I want to eat it, and that’s the bottomline.

No, this is not a place to discuss what you do or are doing. Most of what I’m doing involves preparedness. Some of it involves a lot of thought. Some of it involves understanding that when the powers that be no longer respect your rights, your respect for their rules must also deteriorate- especially as those rules are not conducive to regaining our freedoms.
