Key word is most. I guess I'm prepared to write off the northeastern states to better prepare for the campaign of terror to move into a true killing ground in the southern and far western states. Those liberal northeasterners have truly weakened the gene pool in this country anyway.
As an aside, all the folks I've heard whining here in Miami-Dade as a result of Hurricane Wilma have been transplants from the north. It's been eleven days and my neighborhood STILL has no power. But we were ready. Enough food, water, first aid supplies (thanks AD!), gasoline for both vehicles AND the generator, heck it's just been a hot and sticky vacation. I tell these tenderfoot types that back in the days of OLD MIAM-UH the residents were long on the pioneer spirit and short on the nanny-state mentality currently displayed. Heck my father graduated from Miami High in 1924! Did they have Dopler Radar then? Heck no, durn hurricanes just hit without any warning at all. You just had to make do. Which is exactly what we're doing....making do. But we were prepared (THANKS AD!). We're still ready for any other emergency that might suddenly occur.
Glad your doing okay ExSoldier.
You are right about only MOST of us being armed. Less than 1/2 my co-workers own weapons. Most of my personal friends are armed to the teeth.
There's a huge gunshow down in Richmond this weekend. I'm heading down to pick up more ammo. Maybe another toy or 2. Depends on what's available and what the prices are like.
On the paris riots, FReeper penelopesire was kind enough to dig up a blog with some info about that the bloggers are saying. Check post #100 on this thread for the link:
