Come the Revolution...

   Thu, April 3, 2008 - 7:40 AM
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???

I'm of the right age for Breeding Stock. LOL. I'm also wickehd smaht, ma!
I can finish a floor, purify water, have moderate knowledge of herbal remedies, mild knowledge of animal husbandry, mild knowledge of horticulture, I can sew, I can cook, and I can take apart simple machines, clean them, and put them back together. I'm patient and a good teacher, and understand basic survival techniques.

But I cannot use a gun, so I'd probably be a goner from the get-go. lol.

I know how... and love to get my hands dirty. Survival is something that we have learned to do VERY WELL! (right Margie!) I would request that my assignment would be...

To be the offical guy that tosses the pampered, pretentious, over silicone injected, small dog carrying bitch-whores OVER THAT WALL!!!!

... do you all get the feeling that I was "the friend" Margie was talking to last night....

VIVA REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!

I crochet, knit, embroider, write, proofread, teach writing, sew, work on numerous other crafts as needed, and as my back allows, but I'm not giving up my little dog.
