Great example of anecdotal “evidence.”

The reality is, actual crime rates are about as low as they’ve ever been.

I can't imagine why that would happen with our "leadership", but I'm sure they will be happy to hear they are succeeding.

People aren’t all bad.

True, and for every incident like the ones mentioned in the article, I'm guessing there are several more like your father's experience, every day. They just don't make the evening news, the motto of which is, "If it bleeds, it leads."

People who forgot God forgot decency. Their children became monsters.

#5 All over the United States, police are wailing on Occupy Wall Street protesters with clubs and liberally using pepper spray on them.

Stopped reading right there, as I figured the rest of the article must be dishonest tripe, too.

OWC, may be an indicator of the decline in our civilization, but if it is, it's because these "protesters" have shown so little regard for anyone but themselves.

Good evening.

ITEOTWAWKI, and I don’t feel so fine.

Nor do I. Combat, revolutions, civil wars, and the like are a young man's game. I pray that when the shtf I can still hump ammo, and handle myself in close quarters.

T'is bad that I even have to type this...

I hope we’re just in relatively safe and stable AOs, and we don’t have to hit the road to survive.

THat’s why I picked north FL. I hope it was a good choice. Has to be better than SoCal.

Should be. Lots of game, water, and the general population is fairly self sufficient.

Welcome to the Sunshine State. Normally, we are a friendly bunch.

Methinks we are going to need everyone we can get...

Did the helper have a big truck. Guys with big trucks in our neck of the woods are the saviors of many on the road.
