More seriously though for those who like to squawk: "The sky is falling the sky is falling." Guess what?


Sometimes the sky does fall. Sometimes a little.
And somtimes the whole damned thing falls down on you.

Let me ask you a question: If in the early 1930's I was to go to a group of successful, prosperous, professional Germany Jews and told them where they be in 10 years what do you think the would make of my prediction?

Another thing people do is misjudge there own “safe” location. You may be outside a bigger city, let’s say Atlanta, and think you are rural or suburban “enough”.

But if a city melts down, what do you think is going to happen? Several thousand at least, and maybe a LOT more are going to try and get out of there. So what seems like fairly rural Georgia could turn into a completely different scene in short order. Especially if you are within a few gallons of gas.

That first poster isn’t fair, because Bill Murray is that guy.

Very well put. Sometimes it takes pictures to deliver what words cannot.

The advantage we have over the pre-WWII Jews is that we have the advantage of hindsight of the Statist horrors of the 20th Century, and as Americans are generally well armed as a people, such that we would heed Solzeneitzn’s warning. See his quote on my FR profile page for that.
