good find. it's not hard to see why some people might start losing hope and might start losing respect for "the system." If the rich don't wise up quick, the scenes from England will be coming to America. Bet on it.

with one difference.. americans are armed.

One thing that has made me have a "WTF" moment was a couple years ago when i went to a sporting goods store to buy some .22 bullets to dispatch a skunk that had decided to become a room mate with the barn cats and would not go peaceably through live trap methods. (a live skunk caught in a live trap is not necessarily a solution to the problem as they don't surrender without chemical warfare, and besides, it is illegal to release a skunk once caught in a live trap in california) but i digress... The store was virtually empty of ammunition, and had limited ability to order more. There were no handgun ammunition on the shelves, they were bare. Rifle bullets were scarce, and only target loads of shotgun shells were really available. I had never seen this type of thing before so i asked the guy with the really funny Brylcreem-enhanced haircut what the deal was. He said that ever since obama got elected there had been a run on ammunition.

Then i found out this had happened all over america. Makes me wonder where all that ammo was going. It is like there was some secret Bat-signal to all gun owning paranoids to stock up quick.

Did anyone else notice this phenomena? It was true for reno, redding, and every town i stopped in.
