I think some are trying to stir the pot of discontent to see what will rise; as for me, life is tough enough right now dealing with reality, without trying to worry about hypothetical situations.

Isn’t survival and planning for a potential problem down the road the what people do here?


Reality right now is that we all can buy anything we want, it’s nice weather, all your tires on your car are fine and inflated with air. No truck with hazardous chemicals crashed ¼ mile from your home, and no one is trying to kill you.


But the reality of right now may not be the reality of any given point in the future. So we think about, plan for and talk about a time when reality as we now know it may be different. An interruption of all we have now could come at any time. At some point bad weather could come along, you can get a flat tire and people can riot, and a tanker truck could crash down the street.


How is looking at riots any different then looking at other potential events?



As far as OJ one time a big riot, one time (so far) no riots.

That’s = a 50% result in a riot, not what I would call good odds.
