How many more?

Mike V states no Fort Sumters. I agree with him. Yet we are seeing people not getting that message.

I don't begrudge these guys their anger. Its only a symptom of current affairs with our ever growing Big Government. I can see more taking place in the future, maybe even escalation of said events. I do find it discouraging that they are jumping the gun so completely though. Its obvious to me that these guys are putting a lot of thought into the anger but little(to none) into Recourse.

It also makes me think that MAYBE there is something else at work here. Anger at the government is one thing, suicide by cop is another. (Stack doesn't fall under that but the end result was the same, wasn't it?)

Throw in the new Einstein program ready to start rolling and people like myself are going to start coming under close scrutiny. This, of course, will receive approval of the Sheep. They want to be safe. And they most definitely outnumber those of us that only want our freedoms back. Freedom is a hard thing to live with as you have to work at it, stay knowledgeable on things, protect your interests from those that feel they know better than you. Hard work. Something our country really doesn't seem to understand too much of anymore.

At present, I am as ready for disaster as I can make myself under the current economic conditions. I have written in certain flexibilities "just in case". One thing I am not prepared for is Government intervention. The violent sort of course. I don't have the means to withstand a "no knock warrant" nor am I in an area where I can alleviate that situation. I don't do anything other than have an opinion against Big Government, but that soon may be all they need. The only way I can stop that is to go offline and shut up. This is getting very tempting right now. Sadly, I use the internet for so much of my life; leaving it would change how I get my information. More than likely to the negative.

I know that there are others out there far more vocal than I. I worry about them daily. I have had some of my 'reads' go offline in what seems a permanent fashion without warning, and that worries me too.

Maybe I am just being paranoid. Maybe there isn't a thing to worry about when it comes to what the future holds. I am the cynic though. I can't believe that this Government won't hold back if it feels threatened enough. They have proven too many times in the past that they not only won't hold back, they will come in force, with back-ups and secondary plans.

Till I decide to 'hole up' I am here, fair warning will be given if I go offline. Until such time I watch the skyline, and keep an ear to the ground as best I can. The ride is only starting and history will be written by mere men.


On a good note though, its looking like the weather is turning towards spring. That's a good thing. I need the sunlight to recharge my personal batteries. And hopefully the weather will bring some work with it.(not going to hold my breath over that one though.)
