I cannot climb as high, run as long or fast, or walk as far as I could when i was younger. Sometimes my knees hurt. But, I am willing to deal with my shortcomings and stay in my city and work as hard as I can and do as much as I can if, God forbid, a time of major crisis occurs. If it hurts me I am willing to tolerate pain, discomfort, etc. The painkiller will come in the form of knowing I am doing my part to rebuild and restore a great land. I have the guts.

    This was a trend started by Hillary and Bill. George was too damn ugly to be considered such.

    That's the reason for building the tribe on the way out... Hopefully, you'll get accepted into a tribe due to some skill you bring to the table.

    And, in the case of "end of society"... There is no "Great Land" anymore. It's you, and whatever separates you from your next meal. It'll be time to get rid of the romantic notions of rebuilding society, and just stick to keeping your tribe together, and alive.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    But your missing the point. Of course if you abandon our cities and "take to the hills" there will be no more "great land". That's why we need to stick to our cities and towns. Besides, the cities and the towns will be the most likely places for survival and the materials to build upon. Sure, it's hard, and at times it may seem hopeless . That is why it takes guts to stay in your city, town, village, hamlet, etc. rather than taking to the hills. I may not be a superman but I have the guts. If, God forbid, that day ever comes I am staying right here in my city.
