Boy, if I didn't know better, I'd say he'd been sampling our prime crop up 
here.  Maybe laced with a little some that goes by initials.

My cousin was Chief of Police in the city I used to live in.  I asked him 
about this and he said that it all depends on the part of the country.  I 
don't see the whole gun obsession and paranoia here nor down on the coast.

Now, some of his "facts" are pure imagination.  My best friend and I were 
approached by a "survivalist" to join his "group" and that was when the 
survivalist/militia movement was really ramped up.  They were quite in back 
then.   In fact, the early 80s were considered the peak of the survivalist 
movement.  The whole Y2K thing gave it a shot in the butt and it amped up 
again.  All of which had nothing to do with Clinton.  Terrah and I were 
asked back in 1981!

Now, the guy who asked us wasn't a cop, street or SWAT.  He was a Green 
Beret (Special Forces) and one of the head guys in the DEA for the north 
coast.  So, the paranoia, fear of the government and building compounds goes 
wwwwaaaayyyyyy back!

What's new is the obsession with assault rifles.  Why in the world anyone 
feels they need an assault rifle *except* as one of those you know what 
extensions to build up their egos is beyond me!

Now, IF the fear on the streets is palpable, then I'd suggest everyone stay 
out of Ohio cause it sure isn't elsewhere and people loaded with fear are 
dangerous!

ITSHTF, then I'm where I need to be.  A small community that is just about 
self sufficient, where no one is running around buying assault rifles and 
that we all call "you can't get here from there" cause you can't.  If the 
government falls apart, oh well.  We're too far for the maddening hordes to 
find us and we have nothing the feds want.

The press corp is fact-adverse but very fable friendly.

Just received this from a neighborhood police officer down the 
road.......................

Bev, you wanted something for discussion, this one should get your 
attention.

This is the mindset that is changing in the US, something our government is 
ignoring or minimizing.

Had a talk with a street preacher yesterday, which I'll save for another 
post.
