It's not really new, it's just one of the forums that got a big hit in the recent cluster.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I was into "survivalism" years before I became interested in the militia. Way back in the Stone Age (when I was in the military), I was working in a refugee camp in Chad. It was a scene straight from Hell. Between airdrops, I was helping to dig graves--and we couldn't keep up with the demand. For me, it was a pivotal, life-changing experience, even more than my time in Vietnam was. In short, I became a "survivalist," and even more of a Libertarian than I already was.

I'm afraid God left me a little deficient in ESP. I have little idea what the future holds for me--but I can tell you unequivocally that I will never, ever be in a refugee camp.

Onward and upward,
