An historical perspective

[Lookin4_67GalaxieConv]

Saw this on Facebook.  Good to get a perspective from someone who's been around for decades and seen a lot of things.  Who knows if it's real, but the sentiment is real and that's all that really matters.

Now get off my lawn!

You may have to reset your margins.  Or see if you can copy into a Word document.

It's an image -- you can save it as a file and enlarge or format as necessary once it's on your HD

Good read for sure.
I would have to guess it's not exactly real as it would be hard to remember this whole thing if you simply sat and listened, either way it was a good read that makes you think.


It really makes me wonder what my grandfather would say if he was here.
You don't drive a tank across France and take a near miss through the helmet without learning a few things along the way, he was a Missouri farm boy who got called to war along with one of his brothers and made it home to die of old age while installing a flag pole he built to fly the flag he fought to defend all those years ago.

The Aussi pm ripps the idiots that hoard and he`s dead right.
I`m embarrassed by the news of Aussis doing this.

It's human nature. Civility, logic, and common sense are replaced with a sense of panic. If nothing else, this virus has shown that the very thin veneer of civility we all depend on is easily stripped off by such an emergency. Could you imagine what would happen if this were a very severe crisis -- like an EMP, or a similar global pandemic with a very high fatality rate?

Preppers (even the doomsday contingent) are right about one thing -- stash a few months worth of food, water, medicine, and ammo.
