Ah yes, that smell in the air...1776 ?...more like 1789 to me...been laying in groceries for the last 8 months...weapons and ammo? not gonna say...gonna grow a victory garden this spring...boycotting all the big corporate interests (Amazon, Kroger, FB)...purchasing meat directly from the farm and eggs from my egg lady...purchasing as much as possible from local establishments (1 dollar spent in the local economy is 10 dollars in the local economy)...work for the best, prepare for the worst...keep doing what you are doing Amy...

This is a terrifying post to read. It reminds me of the uncanny valley feeling I’ve had wherever I’ve visited the States. Because in many ways, our two countries have many things in common. So when we differ strongly, such as on gun control, I feel disquieted. Guns breed violence. That said, in a failing Republic where civil war no longer seems laughable and access to guns is relatively easy, does it make sense to be the one without one? Perhaps not.
