Come the Revolution...

A friend and I were talking last night about 'stuff'... the folk I deal with at the scale... and the folk he deals with at the company he works with... and he made the comment that "come the revolution... x, y, z would probably be sent across the wall... " (paraphrasing a bit...)

Come the revolution...

Will you be one who can / will survive

Or

Will you be sent across the wall...

What life / trade skills do you have that are viable?

I was thinking about that this morning on the way in to work...

I spin, I knit, I crochet, I weave... I wield a mean hoe and shovel... and have successfully grown things... I think I would survive...

What about you???
