something else I thought of, whilst 'making my plans for escape':
Assuming I can even think of a place to go to, with my Millets tin of glowsticks, fishing line, compass and all.  My water purifier and sleeping bag in hand, my packets of pulses and bag of rice (anyone watched 'Into the Wild' ?? Ooo-weee! Are those Goji berries ? Maybe not...)
...supposing I get away to my (let's assume) forest hideout, with or without a loved one.(hello ? anyone there?? ) ..to sit out the pandemic and the martial law and the sweeeping of people to camps.  I wait my three months till one percent of the population is left and the super police state has emerged. 
Then what exactly ?? 
Live the rest of my life like somekind New Agege Ben Gunn ? :d: A At what point do I return to the new global 'Brazil' world that has formed ??
See, that's why the fearmongeri 'sky is goining to fall' approach doesn't make sense in my mind (when you really think about it.
There is no win for any escapees out of that situation if it does happen. Even if you have prepared. That's why it's so frightening. At some point you risk being rounded up anyway. . So maybe the real 'game' is more about frightening us than the actual plan materialising.
Because the frightening can go on for ever. The takeover can only happen once, then it becomes reality and it's not frightening anymore. |
That's excaltly what I was going to do
I was expecting to find a girl to do it all with but she never came and I've given up hope of ever finding her now. Oh well.
I had plans of heading down to the coast with my tins of beans and bag of rice, finding a nice boat (would have been loads there with no owners) so we could sail off into the sunset together
then find a great community of like minded souls to share our skills with.
Yea its been a good year but I really wanted something massive to happen. (Leap to the next dimension would have been nice.)
I know they would have caught me at some point but the fun was seeing how long I could evade them and how long I could hold out.
I'm getting bored of all the people saying this is going to happen and then that will happen and none of it ever does, I guess I need something exciting to happen.
I tried to wake up as many as I could along the way but most of my mates think I'm daft as a brush now so I've given up on that. I'm now waiting paitiently for 2012 to come along but I bet that comes and goes by like all the other predictions have. It's been fun learning and great to see though the BS they have been feeding me all my life. I've loved listening to people and seeing all the bits fall into place
Best thing about this time last year was it really gave me a sense of purpose, I had a plan and did my best to get prepared to carry it out but now I have no girl, no plan, no beer (but I've pinched one of my mates tins) no money and no purpose.
But on a positive side the best times in my life have been when I had no money, I'm now totally skint so maybe it's going to start getting good for me
I know what you're saying about them trying to frighten us, they feed off fear it gives them power.
I'm off to smoke a rollup and watch the tele now and be brainwashed, wake me up when it gets good
Sorry if this is a bit negative
