Pardon the delay, I had to take some time and think things through a bit. I had some serious doubts about staying on with this group, there seems to be a lot going on behind the scenes that gives me pause. I understand the need for some form of structure. I only ask that individuals do not try to enforce social norms, as some may have noticed this will not go over well. My reaction is not necessarily toward the individuals themselves, but of the unconscious dominant will of the collective regarding conformity. It is the way of things, there is no avoiding the human condition, but I will say I find the degree of tolerance in this community commendable. I will do my best to match it with my own level of patience.
Now, just to clear up any misconceptions that may be floating around out there, I am not sitting in a bunker surrounded by stores of food, radiation tablets, and racks of guns, furiously fapping away with the latest issue of guns and ammo in hand. If I were to be left in peace for the rest of my life, I'd die a happy man. However, just in the few last weeks my states legislature tried to sneak in some very restrictive gun laws during the lame duck session. Although it does not directly effect me, the issue is in my own back yard. This is why the moral question has become such an issue for me. What will I do if I see teams going door to door? If the time comes, and I hope it doesn't, I had better have my act together, before I use the greatest weapon at my disposal, a crafty mind. Others have heard the call as well, I don't care if you own one or not, this isn't just about firearms, it's the removal of the final check and balance to power. If you don't think it's important, or think it's ok to take the weapons, then don't be surprised later on down the road, when you see me show up at the camp fence with a pair of bolt cutters. Might have to knock a few guards over the head, but they will live and that will be my burden to bear. I hope I'm wrong, but these eugenics proponents aren't kidding around, they really do hate your guts for breathing their air. These things have happened before, and no one ever believed it would happen to them. Hopefully this will not come to pass, I think enough people are waking up to the fact that there is something seriously wrong, and I think a lot of them are throwing monkey wrenches into the gears, bless their souls, but I'm keeping a close eye on events, just in case.
I have to get some supper, but I'll be back in a short to answer some of these fine posts. Keep them coming. I may not agree with all of them, but I love reading your opinions anyway.
