Well, I suppose your interpretation is one perspective. To be honest that seems like a tortured reading of the text to me. Especially since at the time the article was written abortion on demand had been legal in the US for a number of years. I stand by my previous comments. Even if what Saxon meant was what you described; the picture he then goes on to paint would lead to life, as your own Thomas Hobbes described over three centuries ago, as solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short. (Personally I always leaned more toward Locke and Smith but thats a story for another time
)What Saxon does describe about leaving the cities, etc. we already have in this world. We call those places Afghanistan and Somalia and Yemen. I not trying to insult the inhabitants of those regions but I think we can all agree that they are hardly locations known for their civilization, arts, technology, medicine, industry or standard of living. My preps are designed to get me through until me, my community, my country, etc. can recover our lives, civilization, arts, industry, etc. not replace them with what sounds like perpetual tribal warfare.
I've already wasted too much time on Mr. Saxon, but thanks for the interesting banter.
Happy New Year,
