Bev, what You wrote below is descriptive of sudden personal
enlightenment.
The game really is rigged. To teach a child, today, about honesty
and good will; forgiveness and trust is to turn that child into an
easy mark. Those lessons should certainly be taught but with the
proviso that they only apply with family and the familie's immediate
circle of friends. Outside that circle they should be taught the way
the world really works.
There are pitiful souls hoping that everything crashes, so that they
will finally, for once in their mediocre life, be right. But that is
a fool's dream. There will be no safety except in might, just as it
has always been. Go visit Atlanta on a Friday night, walk the
streets -- you are looking at the future.
People say "well, I 'll stay here protected by this silly hill, or
I'll buy tons of ammo and beans. These are the thoughts of foolish
men
Me; if things become that bad; I'll join up with the roughest group I
can find, cheer right along with the leader as they pillage, and one
night cut his g-dd-mn throat and take his place.
I've seen 'pure' animalistic barbarity; it isn't something taught in
civics courses. I belive, at the rate I'm going , I'll be out of the
city, next spring. Like you wrote 'my eyes were opened'. I will do
what I must and what I choose. If a rule or law inconveniences me,
well, I just don't care anymore; I'll do as I please.
I have been steadily working on my refuge. I figured out how to do
it with absolutely no connection to me and where I will be; and I
still have options as far as the destination. It isn't easy,
actually, it's pretty complicated, and a bit pricey. But, I so long
for absolute privacy, and now that I have developed a way to realize
that mission, I'm working at it daily.
