I prefer to invest in lead, as in ammo. Then I can take your gold if I need it.

You may be saying that in jest, but at some point it will be all too real and common.

It should be a warning to those who think that conservatives will hang together and win a CWII.

We don't have a common tradition of honor and morality any more.

A joke about theft and murder of fellow Freepers seems funny to you?

Apparently you are unfamiliar with your local Tea Party. I live in a rural area. Have for the last 12 years. I have married (niece) into old local clans. We are going to stick together. We already talk about it some now. There will be some resistance to outsiders at first but we have some very smart people down here. FReepers will by definition be welcome in our haven. I know other areas of the country, especially, cities will be insane if this thing fall apart. But keep the faith. What do you mean we don't have a common tradition? Good luck and I hope you post was sarcasm.
