Philadelphia Weekly recently ran a story on the "growth
of a multicultural, progressive survivalist movement," which
generated some interesting mail, like
this bit from concerned resident Maria Ortiz:
Your survivalist story was not only interesting but also
somewhat true. The Bush administration has put this country on
the edge of chaos with its lack of policing; I do not just mean
literal policing but also regulatory efforts that create fair
exchange. My family is from Mexico, many are members of
the Latin Kings, many worship at the altar of Santisima Muerte
and help the Mexican cartels with their business. My American
friends do not realize what a danger these entities are. The
next step is kidnapping. I know from a man who married
into the family that University of Pennsylvania students are
going to be targets—mainly young Republicans because they will
elicit the least public sympathy.
Interesting and somewhat true--high praise! As for the
rest, it is reassuring to learn child,
gangbanger and
Newsweek alike all understand there is enough despair in
the world already without us collectively losing any
sunshine-spewing, hope-mongering Obama supporters. Know your real
enemy, people--and kidnap them!
The tragedy, of course, is the Monopoly Man is in no position now
to pay all the ransom demands the Latin Kings will no doubt soon
flood his inbox with.
