I think it is imperative that those of us who do see what is happening around us continue to prepare for the worst if by no other means than to admit that it COULD get much worse overnight. As has been pointed-out time and time again the average "joe" is very comfortable in his own mind and therefor thinks he is "safe". What is so clear to us is at this point intentionally ignored by most and very few can be convinced otherwise.
We have turned a corner of sorts as this government no longer fears us (WE THE PEOPLE) and has no regard for individual Liberty.
We may all do well to take a lesson from the "Wolverines"...
