I think that Robb underestimates the probability that governments will ultimately find adequate tactics in response to global terrorism. Capitalism requires a stable environment to thrive, and wealthy capitalist based governments like the USA can devote enormous resources to finding and implementing solutions. The world Robb predicts resembles the Dark Ages of Europe and it will take more than isolated terrorist attacks to achieve that environment. mr. closets

With regard to how people react to unexpected crisis, I highly recommend Jose Saramago’s book “Blindness”. It is a shocking, and I thought quite plausible, description of how people respond to ?@#% hitting the fan. It deals mostly with the EMOTIONAL response people have to calamity and chaos. I think it’s valuable to face the prospect of bad times realistically, to develop an appropriate MINDSET to prepare for dealing with them. Of course, doing what we can to avoid the PHYSICAL problem in the first place is a good idea. Good show.

Re “double-edged swords”- I see… more choppers than thrusters- AND a chance to put that spot-turn to good use, too, eh? Thanks, Brian… ^..^

Salient feature of â€œdouble-edged swordsâ€ = everybody bleedsâ€¦ ^..^

Metaphorically, yes. Literally a double-edge sword allows you to slash at your opponent on the back swing without having to recover for another strike.

PLN Forgot to say- off topic but since you mentioned Birkenstocks- in those days I did not wear Birkenstocks either- I wore Dr. Scholl’s clogs which were equally uncomfortable. These days I were Wellies.. almost year round.

PLN- then you must have a copy of Rodale’s book on organic gardening- the bible. We are fortunate. Most people do not have the land to plant. But when I was growing up in NYCity and going to the public schools, every year, late winter in elementary school, we had a chance to order seed packets ( from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden) – easy seeds like Nasturtium and Candytuft or Marigold- and then to wait anxiously to get them early Spring and plant in boxes and containers that we saved. We watched things grow on our windowsills. In the summers we fled to the cool Catskill Mountains and foraged for berries. Even living in a city atmosphere, kids can learn. For me, living close to the land was an advance.

Yes good idea to plant another when you cut one down….

Demarconia- I worry about that.
