An exercise was already performed in Boston days ago for the subway system. It's also my understanding that National Guard troops are receiving focused training on civil unrest, as told to me by a relative. I think D.C. is well aware of the potential for violence by American citizens. I think they fully expect it.
Bane, so do I, but I think it's basis will be the economy. It does not look good and as long as the government keeps artificially propping it up, this just delays the inevitable.
I have had a lot of feed back from up north in the land of nowhere... Seems a LOT of people are now buying lands as far from the major cities in Az as they can find...Realtors up north are getting slammed...My own that is up in Williams Az., was out last night at 9 pm! She said I had to get my paperwork in this morning as there are already several people trying to outbid me on the site I want! As soon as the place opens ( brain dead thing this am...no sleep, again!) I'll send the paperwork via fax! Have to get outta this place and soon.....
