If one holes up then, when they eventually emerge, they are going to find out that they are suddenly "living in Mexico", in total poverty and with everything controlled by ultra-violent "cartels".
I've decided the *only* hope this nation has is for a new movement, similar to "Promise Keepers", to sweep the nation. Particpants in the movement would commit themselves not just to their families, but to their employer and their society. They would wear some outward sign of their commitment - maybe a little pin - which would make a huge statment during a job interview.
Without such a movement we're going to descend into barbarism and violence. With such a movement we could yet resurrect the American Dream.
We’ve had “Promise Keepers” and “Oath Keepers”. What is needed is “Dream Keepers” - keepers of the American Dream.
These groups could merge into something like your 'Dream Keepers.'
I think most will need to have a serious fright before joining such organizations, though.
You are absolutely right. I’m not saying that there’s no worry from nuclear fallout, but let’s be franks. Hundreds (if not thousands), of nukes have been detonated already. Much of the really nasty stuff leave pretty quickly. There’s also ways to mitigate radiation poisoning, depending on the severity and type of radiation. I dare say your best defense is to be healthy now, and to eat a fair amount of good, fresh, and wholesome food. A good immune system is part of God’s neverending mercy. He created us to be able to take a lot of damage, and still pull through. I wouldn’t go so far as to stay “Don’t worry!” but I surely think we need to keep it in proper perspective.
