Heading as far south as Minnesota seems kinda soft to me. Days down there make me feel like one of Frank Herbert's Fremen surrounded by a pack of sissies who can't do a thing at -20 F.

We have the mildest weather in the entire world, with long warm summers and short slightly cool winters, yet we have relatively little crime compared to other places.<br /><br />There's a very simple explanation--guns. There are lots of gun-related businesses out here, which tells you that there are lots of people with guns.<br /><br />When people own guns, crime drops.Grizzlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-22071938766445541452014-12-05T14:16:27.186-08:002014-12-05T14:16:27.186-08:00When the shit hits the fan I imagine they'll j...When the shit hits the fan I imagine they'll just have bigger gangs that constantly rape and pillage through the countryside. <br /><br />Even with a lack of government, you'll still have people trying to eek a honest living, most of them unable to pay for mercenaries to bat them away from their farm or store.<br /><br />Initially? It might weed out the weak criminals but the ones left over are probably the meanest son of bitches you'll ever meet with no strings holding them back - no police force in the immediate vicinity unless THEY'RE the police force.<br /><br />Of course, I might be playing too much fallout and Wasteland 2.Ocelotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-41609524530050482014-12-04T00:42:58.277-08:002014-12-04T00:42:58.277-08:00Finland ...

Cold weather keeps you from becoming a pussy. That's why I was saddened when you said you wanted to move some place where it's warm. Don't do it! There's just more of the kind of people you don't like (lazy, dishonest) where it's warm all the time.golden geese newshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06456006010918216238noreply@blogger.com
