If you were to shrug, where would you do it?

With the technology Big Brother has today (spy cams, GPS phone tracking, drones, etc.), it’s unlikely a Galt’s Gulch would survive hidden anywhere within U.S. borders.

Which raises the question: where do you shrug?

1. Blend in among the looters and moochers and hope no one notices?

2. Or find sanctuary in another country?

    I know my cat is! Lol. He likes to think he's stalker extraordinaire, but he thumps his paws when he walks. He isn't fat, either, just LOUD.
    The squirrels taunt him through the sliding door!

    Love AC. AC1 is my favorite. It took me about 7 months to complete it, considering my infrequent playing time. I started AC2 about 2 months ago, and I think it'll be another year before I get through it. Yes, the graphics are incredible. Want to see the AC logo on the keyboard? <} Cool huh?

    Poor Mike, he had no idea on the can of worms he opened...really touched a nerve didn't he? And then there's the rabbit holes too. :)

    I know what you mean. it's hard to figure out where to tackle these when so much happens in one day. Mike came in with a splash, on a topic we discuss in here regularly, too!

    Just made it down ot the point where I realized you were no longer in Colorado. Working through this from the top down, perhaps should go bottom up, but oh well. I have a sister in-law in Colorado Springs and she is watching things go to hell around her. Her husband is ex-military and was a commander at the air force academy there before retiring. They stayed in the area. I think you were wise to leave..

    I WAS there Xenok. have you been reading this post? I am outside the country. I think it is poetic justice. first, Colorado was invaded by texans. and we groused about them. Then the californians swamped in, although they were always trying to make a stronghold. Now, gov. Perry is actively courting californians (I hope only the productive ones go) to Texas.

    So true.

    The only way that would not happen is if he invented cold fusion, phasers and proton torpedo (all portable soldier versions) and the ability to construct them all with 3d printers as well as the ability to produce all needed resins in his own home. Then weapon superiority would make the government leave him alone until they could get in secretly and kill him in his sleep stealing all his cool inventions for themselves. In the end that would only make things worse as the government would have all the new toys, and he would be dead.

    It has to destroy itself from the inside and we have to ready with the needed skills, talents and philosophy to rebuild it free, and fight those that want to rebuilt it in some form of master and servant society.

    Really though we just need to work together and we all get out, then go find a few moochers, tie em up in the back of our cars. When the zombies come we can spin em around a few times take of the hood and leave.... after shooting the moocher in the leg.

    I am joking.... I think.

    Your in Colorado, man I am sorry. Can you say mass California migration to your state. They are ruining it.

    you have to fight them back from the trash all the time in Colorado. We got good with wrist rockets. They are a regular pain in the ass. One time I was weeding on a sunday morning and turned my face into my shoulder to blot sweat, and there was this huge mama with two cubs. I do not know where the dogs were. She was maybe 50 feet away just looking at me and her cubs were behind her stretching up on a tree and looking all curious and cute. I just said "Go!" and pointed at her. She turned around and took off, cubs scampering behind her. afterwards the satisfaction of getting someone, anyone to actually listen to me wore off, I started shaking. that was one of my more intense brushes with natural selection.
