As the country I was born and raised in has become "increasingly unrecognizable" over the past few years, I found myself going into seclusion more and more on a reasonably self-sufficient small farm. But over the past few weeks, an internal rage has manifested from within, making me realize that I can no longer keep my thoughts to myself, and perform symbolic gestures like grow meat for protein and stock my sheds with salt. I am however planting the largest garden ever and am rapidly learning to grow poultry and cattle.
And I am not, nor ever was, a survivalist. I am a physician and a writer that used to be a part of normal working society. That world just does not exist any more. I spent many years traveling and living South of the Texas border. What I see is a reverse trend in civility.
I have no doubt that we are about to reach the point in chaos where the system that we are trying to hold onto simply explodes.
Not just as a country. The globe is too complex as an integrated system.
Having just spent a week in Camp LeJeune with family, talking to the young folks who have just returned from Iraq, and visiting with those who will deploy to Afghanistan shortly ... it became strikingly obvious that we desperately need true leadership. It will rise from within.
Then I found this web site. At least I can say that I have hope again. Yesterday, I was getting pretty worried.
When the volcano erupts ... and it will ... I propose that there is only one man for the job ... and it would be you sir.
