I've not been around the boards, because I'm pretty much done with survivalism. I figure if you're living an 1800's lifestyle then you're pretty much surviving anyway. This precludes the need to fear, heed, or otherwise care about other people's opinions, assertions, and/or issues that you cannot effect change over.

Stated differently:

If you live like a frontiersman who cares if XYZ happens? You're insulated from everything short of Nazi Germany style round-up and executions. If our government tries that crap - I suspect there will be a lot of dead jack-booted thugs because every bubba with a shotgun will be taking pot-shots at them.
