There are actions that can be taken (that don’t involve violence), but it appears Americans (including conservatives) are satisfied to use old tactics (faxing, calling, emailing, rallying) in this “new world” we live in. And, that’s exactly what the Left is hoping we’ll continue to do.

I think that is called the "Law of Normalcy" - or something like that. Forgive my malapropism Annie, but the point is the same.

The people at the foot of Vesuvius didn't evacuate during the earthquake.

They went to the wine bars to get drunk when the hot ash cloud formed.

And they staggered to the brothels when the pumice started falling (ever so lightly at first) from the sky.

We have to understand something: most Americans are lost. Completely.

I was an military officer during relief operation of Hurricane Katrina. I was Air Force, working under the command of First Army (who was in command under Rus General Honore).

What I witnessed totally changed my outlook. I had massive compassion, especially on the children. I also saw African-Amiericans who were heroes - and full of love. To the letter, these actions were confined to black Christian churches and their members - and that's it.

If ATM cards, credit cards, and especially welfare cards stop working. If there is no water. If there is no food. If panic sets in....and people know there is no authority....then you have between 8 and 24 hours left of anything resembling a "normal" society.

After that, things go downhill very, very, very, very quickly.

Yes, that’s what it’s called...and the nation has it bad. It’s a strong delusion.

Thanks for sharing about your expereince in the aftermath of Katrina.

Today I read the stories about the mayhem caused by mobs of soulless shoppers wanting to purchase air jordan shoes and every time I see this breakdown of our society and culture in form of mob action, I am sad for my country’s future. We can not be both free and animalistic.
