Well here's a little "kick-in-the-backside-thought" for everyone reading this...

This article basically suggests that we build a small to large community of like-minded-survivers/survivalists to rely on so that each of us as individuals or very small groups won't have to be, 'Jacks-of-all-trades, and Masters-of-none'.

That's all well and good, but frankly, if we are all going to build small communities of those that we would need to survive comfortably, there would eventually result in something much like a "Town". Which we already have plenty of in this country... The only real difference being that the "New Community" would supposedly govern itself through a single leader or group vote,(oh yeah, that exists right now too).

Why is it not easier to totally rework our communities and set our current form of government back to the way it should be... the way it had served the people of this Nation for near 200yrs???

Is it that it would be too hard to fight the current government to wrestle the proper control away from it and put it back into the hands of the People it was meant to serve???
(Do any of you think this current over-powerful government is going to leave your little community alone to do as you will?)

Or if our current over-powerful government somehow collapsed and required bebuilding, beginning with small communities as the type expressed in the above article, wouldn't it just be easier to begin this on the small scales and build from there BEFORE a total collapse is relized and the additional worry/burden of a National Defence is also forced to be dealt with and/or totally rebuilt ALSO???
(Or did anyone here think that our government would quietly collapse and leave the functioning bulk of our National Defence INTACT in this "Big, Bad World"???)

I just gotta see some of the answers to these questions....
