What Will You Be Celebrating on July 4th

How long are the American People going to let their government view them as the enemy?


Of course there are people who pose a threat to the American people, but to allow the government to view EVERYONE as a threat is in direct conflict to the Constitution that established this great experiment known as The United States of America!

The government tells its people that foreign and domestic terrorists hate us because of all of the "freedoms" that we have. So why does the same government that insists that our greatest asset is the same thing that they are slowly taking away from us?

We need to wake up, and take back our country.

I do not criticize my government because I hate my country, I do it because I love my country. Because "this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

And it is our responsibility to ensure that happens!

What "The Walking Dead" Has Taught Me

So there is this show that comes on AMC called "The Walking Dead", maybe you have heard about it. If not than welcome to planet earth and I hope you are enjoying your stay here.

I began to watch the show because it was based in Atlanta. And I thought it would be fun to see what the city that I live pretty close to would look like during the apocalypse. And I wanted to see what it would look like to have one side of I-85 completely void of cars. That scared me more than the zombies, but I digress.

Of course there are obvious things from the show that every woman has learned, such as Norman Reedus is sexy as hell, and don't sleep with your "dead" husband's best friend.

But there are other subtle things I have learned that I feel the need to share.

1) Rednecks will inherit the earth.

The sexy redneck!! 

With reality shows like Hunny-Boo Boo and Duck Dynasty people from the south has experienced some pretty bad press. Not everyone who lives in the south are rednecks. However, many, many people are. Yes they may be entertaining and amusing to the more cosmopolitan and sophisticated citizens of this country, but in case of a zombie outbreak I give those people 2 days tops! They will be dead, and then undead with a quickness.

Case and point- Daryl Dixon! Women all over the country are now drooling and fantasizing about a man who is by very nature, a redneck. Now in real life, a lot of women would look at a man like Daryl and laugh about the idea of going out with him. But when the zombie apocalypse hits, it's these men that are going to have a shit load of guns, some spam cans that just happen to be laying around the house, and can kill, skin, and gut a wild animal to feed him and whoever happens to be hanging out with him. So yeah, they may seem uneducated and backward to you, but when shit hits the fan their going to be just fine.

2) Human nature is still going to be human nature.
First of all, humans are neurologically wired to be social creatures. We will seek out others. In the beginning of the series, people who were once strangers formed together to establish a tribe like culture. In times of panic, we need other people for comfort and we need a sense of belonging to something.

But then the panic subsides, and people begin to distrust other people who are not in their "tribe". That again is human nature. We do not like outsiders. No matter how trusting and tolerant you think you are I promise, in times of crises our basic instinct of survival will kick in and you will stay loyal to your "us", and distrust "them".

And just like the Governor proved, there will be people who will use a crises as a way to gain power and authority. The ability to be manipulative and power hungry doesn't disappear from our nature just because of a catastrophe. Just like in real life, some people see a disaster as a way to help others, and some see it as a way to help themselves. And if the show doesn't illustrate that enough try picking up a history book! 

Look familiar??

 

3) Dead people make for good camouflage.
In the first season Rick and Glenn find themselves trapped in the city of Atlanta surrounded by a lot of zombies. This is when we first see the usefulness that zombies can provide for hiding in a crowd. They cover themselves with the kind of gore that you would expect from a show about zombies and disguise themselves by walking slowly with them, and since they smell dead, the zombies think they are dead. But then the rain kind of ruined that and epic walker killing action ensues.

Then in season two our group finds themselves in another sticky zombie blood situation. They are trapped on  I-85 (I know that feeling!) and soon a walker herd comes their way. Daryl covers an injured T-Dog and himself with a couple of corpses that are laying around and the walkers walk right past them. Not realizing that there are two living people under the dead people. Good thing zombies are not that bright!

And then we have Michonne! She had two arm-less and jaw-less walkers in chains. (I guess everyone needs some kind of pet.) She figured out that she can walk around with them and other walkers don't bother her. Andrea learned this trick from Michonne and used it as a means to get to the prison in season three.

But please don't cross the "having a zombie chained up" line like the Governor did with Penny!

I mean who wasn't creeped out by this??

A Woman's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, or The New World Order. Whichever Comes First

This is my rendition of a woman's guide to the end of the world. Rather it be by biological  mystic, or government induced. No matter why you are now facing the end of civilization, you are. So you might as well get use to it and buck up and grow a set.

The number one problem with women when it comes to the end of the wold is we still rely too much on men. Think about it: think about every movie you have ever seen. It is always the woman who is left behind washing clothes and "tidying" up camp and the men are the ones who go out to protect the "womens". Well let me be the one to tell you that it does not have to be that way!
So my first rule  for women is:

1) Get a couple of guns, and practice!!! (However, if you are a convicted felon, or suffer from an illness, or have any other reason as to why you cannot and should not buy a gun LEGALLY and register it, skip this.)

The practice point is the most important. What is the use in a gun if you do not know how to use it? No matter if it is a zombie apocalypse or a new world order, it never hurts to know how ta make a head shot at 20 yards! Either way, you will be the stronger because of your knowledge of the weapon. Which leads me to point number two:




2) Learn how to kill silently and up-close.

Whether you are dodging zombies or evil government soldiers, you only want to use a gun when your back is against a brick wall. Gun shots are too loud and draw too much attention to the user. You need to know how to inflict a head wound with a knife so the "enemy" can go down quietly and without much of a fight. This also applies to a sword, and it can prove worthy to you. Learn how to be a surgeon using the ancient weapon. This is also the moment that "stealthiness" comes into play. Part of being able to be a silent death machine is the ability to lurk around corners without drawing attention to yourself. This is where women have the upper hand. Many of us were brought up to be "graceful" and "delicate". And what better way to teach these virtues of women but by enrolling them in ballet? So many women have years of practice of tip-toeing around on our bare toes. Thus, we have learned to be quiet as a mouse when we leap, run, and walk.  Hence, we are quiet death machines!

Speaking of silent weapons that can come in handy; this brings me to the next point:

3) Buy and learn how to use a crossbow.

 This weapon combines the efficiency of the silent kill that is offered through a knife and sword with the long distance kill of a gun. This is the perfect weapon if you want to shoot "something" or "someone" without the attention of a gun blast. This allows for a silent kill without the need to get "up close and personal" while using a knife or sword. Using this weapon also allows for a bonus for the women out there, this is the weapon of such sexy men as Daryl Dixon of "The Walking Dead". Using a weapon such as the crossbow could strike up a conversation with a man such as Daryl, because you already have a weapon in common. Which leads me to my next point:




4) Use protection!

Even if you have never seen a George Romero movie or seen an episode of "The Walking Dead", or been in a combat situation, common sense should tell you that now is not the time to start a family. Even if it is with a sexy Norman Reedus type character you need to remember that no matter what you do, a child will bring attention to you from the very people (or un-people) that you want to avoid. For many of us who have seen the last episodes of M*A*S*H we know what a crying baby can do to refugees of a political struggle and the psyche of a normal person. And for later generations that know not what I am talking about but can relate to the problems that a screaming baby can yield, the simple truth is "baby bad" and "living good". So when looting for supplies during a zombie or political apocalypse  please get some condoms on your next pillaging endeavor.

This is just a few points that I wanted to bring to a "Feminist Guide to the End of The World". This one article is just the tip of the iceberg, so continue to read so all strong women (and men) can survive a New World Order, or a Zombie Apocalypse!
