We can yet mitigate the effects. So I, as a Leftist World Survivalist (there are no rightist world-survivalists, they could give a rat's patootie whether the world lives a year or a century), am going to continue to put my pen to work, and physically put my body in the way where I see that either might accomplish aught.
How many of you have ever heard and watched when a piece of metal gets in the way of an unyielding machine? When I was sawmilling, on two occasions when I was there, we were sawing a big ol' log, big pine or oak, and with no warning the log-- certainly a ton or more of wood-- bucked right back off the saw carriage, the engine went into redline mode-- it hurt to hear the noise it was making-- pieces of saw teeth, suddenly deadly shrapnel, tore holes in the galvanized roof above the saw line, and everyone was in emergency mode.
I
immediately got the engine shut down, but the saw was useless. We had tried to
saw through a civil war minie ball. I AM a wrench in the machine, y'all. I will snarl up the works until they crush me, or someone has to come remove my bent but unbroken butt.
Keep them wrenches and sabots coming,
folks!
