Those are the authors words. I am 1/3 of a way through the book and he doesn't hold back. I have laughed and been shocked at how bottom-line honest the author is. I have read many books but never has an author motivated me to actually really reach out to like minded people. The book reads like he is speaking to me. I will say that you will know where the author stands politically but that is okay, I don't think a majority of liberals are planning in case of catastrophe. So check it out, you may enjoy it. I will report back when I have finished. The Twilight's Last Gleaming: On Your Own in America: Will You Survive: Nathan L. Combs: 9781457503481: Amazon.com: Books
