    We’re going to have people living in other people’s attics and basements for security soon, aren’t we?

    What has this country come to? I don’t even recognize it anymore. Its collective values have separated so starkly from mine that I am not sure I can continue living here.

      It’s getting spooky watching American television. It’s like watching ghosts of what America used to be, or at least what I used to believe it was. The reality of what America has become hasn’t impacted television much yet.

      The people are too addled with medications or health conditions to do much beside pull levers in the factory, pay bills, eat, and shit.

      The population has been conditioned to be slaughterable animals long ago.

      Same, but I don’t have the resources or connections to move anywhere else. My wife and I don’t have kids to protect, so we’ve been seriously considering just driving out to the desert and ending it.

      Edit: My mom and her wife are still alive, that’s really the only thing keeping me alive. If anyone comes for them, I will kill them.
