Time to start preparing

The Homeland Security Act is the scariest thing to come down the pike in the United States in a very, very long time. You can read about it here.

What can we do? Write your Congress-critters. Do not email them. Email gets ignored. Whip out the word processors and put your words on paper. Calling them also gets registered.

If it does pass, use cash whenever possible. Especially when you buy ammo for the weapons we should all own before the 2004 election season. The Second Amendment is the reset switch on the U.S. Constitution.

I'm still not quite ready to predict the end of civilization as we know it, but I'm getting less and less happy with each passing day.
