I am being optimistic. But there is room for hope. I am on my own in my little town and can only hope to get my family to safety should hob nailed boots come kicking in my door.(that's Pink Floyd , man.) But our beautiful blue world class cities are full of poor folks trained in urban tactics. They will not come there. These are not disciplined fighters. Bravado falls to discipline every time. The blue states will survive if worse comes to worse. I do not think it will come to this. They don't have a Jefferson Davis or a General Lee.


Shit. Even my positive thoughts are grim as Hell. Note to self: Don't paraphrase Pink Floyd when trying to raise morale.
