Their actions, skills knowlege, determination and faith allowed them to preserver as many of them saw what was coming and prepared accordingly. We owe all to these men the Frist American Preppers!
Preppers PING!!
The end of the world as we know it ...
While, I never thought about the Revolution in that light before, I have often thought of the pioneers, the great depression, the two world wars, the trail of tears in that regard. We have a rich heritage of people leaving their comfort zone for the new world, and TEOTWA they knew it.
Bad times come, and bad times go. Some survive, and some do not. That’s the way it is.
Time changes some things: Women these days are more likely to react when danger approaches than were women of those days. Even my mother's generation, in the late 1800s, would not have taken up a firearm even though she was raised on a farm in Arkansas. The men did that and the women did not. My mother would be shocked to see the weapons I OWN.
She and my dad would be shocked to see I an growing food plants as I stayed away from the garden when I was growing up.
Many women have firearms now and would use them if the family was physically threatened by Hussein's “civilian army” and the women “would know very well what they are about”.
Also, people in the 1770s normally had stored food at home since the women canned food and stored various root veggies in root cellars. People mostly stopped canning when transportation became easy and stores had canned food from food companies. If the country collapses now for whatever reason, not many people will have stored food and millions will die so we are worse off in that area than they were in the 1700s.
But afterwards, when things settle down, and I'm a little less screwed, then what?
Look for my Thought Experiment: Liberty© series soon.

One of the things about Limbaugh that drives me nuts (admittedly a pretty long list; when I mostly stopped listening in the W administration I thought it would be tough, but every now and then I tune in again and realize that it was not) is when someone called with a fairly sensible observation/conclusion about the dire state of the nation (”Hello, Karen from Whitefish, Montana”), and Limbaugh launches into a “It’s not all over, be optimistic, why don’t you just kill yourself...” blather. He invariably cites the Founding Fathers as proof of his point. What he fails to realize, or at least chooses not to observe, the Founding Fathers made an anguished, self-conscious decision to kill their fellow British subjects in order that the colonists might become citizens.
If that isn’t “It’s all over,” I do not know how to define the term.
I note that they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. I wonder how close we are to that point again?
