of course Dale--i'm fortunate to be in a network of likeminded friends, family, and neighbors. i also have faith in all of the other leftists out there, to act together if--god forbid--it was necessary.
and there are multiple IFAKs in my home and auto (i gave them out as gifts not long ago), have seeds stored, enough food to last at least 6 months, resources to cook said food if there was no power, etc., etc., etc.
shit man, the two literature classes that i am teaching this semester, start next week--it's not like i want any of this to go down, but i am listening and paying attention, so in addition to working towards and wishing for the best, i am one of many who is also going to be sure to be prepared for the worst. part of my point is that the "liberal" media is clearly trying to make people fucking crazy too--in other words, reporting on potential military coups for purely political reasons. fuck that--if these rabid, racist animals were to actually try to act collectively, politics and theory will do the rest of us no good, as we actually deal with this shit in our cities and in the streets...
