well i'll be darned

how real do you think this is?

i'm not sure. the people who have researched it will probably tell me that the government wants me to doubt its existence. well, the government's kind of getting its way. what kind of forces, in terms of people, weaponry, and transportation, would they need to enact some kind of feat like rounding up all the liberals and putting them in these "camps"? how could they hide that kind of stuff? i'd like to think that, especially now with a democratic house, the government is transparent enough not to be able to keep something like this from the people. i don't think bush has the power to pull this off. granted, i'm not into nascar, so i've never actually discussed politics with someone who fully supported him, but i can't imagine what would happen in at least any of the urban centers i've ever visited if anything like what this website predicts even attempted to transpire. riots in the streets, baseball bats with nails in them, homemade snares. enough of us are prepared for the zombie apocalypse that we could hole up and ride it out with short periods of running and violence. jake might think i'm naive and unprepared for the reality that the government is trying to disarm its citizens so that it can round up the free thinkers. but what kind of event in the next two years could possibly "force" bush to sign those executive orders? he doesn't have a lot of time left, so something really serious would have to happen between now and then. an enormous threat to our country from the inside. first of all, i don't see that happening, and second of all i don't see the president having the support to pull something like that off. while i understand that it is satisfying to wholeheartedly believe that our president is a man ethically capable of pulling something atrocious like that on his own citizens, i don't think it's going to happen. it's exciting to think that you know a secret and it's exciting to think you know what's going to happen and that you need to inform people about it, but even assuming that the information on this website is totally for real (doubtful), how likely is it to happen, really (not very). who knows, maybe in a month or a year i will be biting my tongue and brandishing a katana in the streets on a motorcycle. actually, motorcycles are niosy, so probably on a bicycle. slower, but sneakier and more fuel efficient. but as my car payments reach their end, this end-of-times form of escapism is becoming less and less a part of my daily daydream routine, slowly being replaced by scenes of domestic bliss (me, alone in the house, and it's clean. maybe i'm reading, maybe i have my feet up on the coffee table and i'm listening to some records, maybe i'm jumping up and down on the couch trying to run my finger along the molding to show myself there's no dust there. the point of the dreams is, 1. it's quiet except for the noise of my choosing and 2. it's clean. really clean.)
