I know a lot of people who are having trouble handling the way things are going. The left has engaged in sustained, random, low-intensity violence on a national level. People feel they need to prepare, but they can't retaliate, and that constant edgy readiness is already wearing people down while the left continues to randomly burn and loot with impunity.
Do people have some ideas on how to handle that constant background noise without getting worn down and losing before the fight even begins? I've been able to compartmentalize and just wait to do the job that's in front of me, but not everyone can do that.
I dunno that you need to leave Washington.
Washington state is, on the whole, not terrible. Having no personal income tax sounds pretty good.
I mean, just looking around on google maps, Quincy looks nice, not that far from Wenatchee.
Out here in Iowa if you're within 40 miles of a Wal-Mart that's considered cosmopolitan (and you get used to the fact that, in a sense, it really is).
You might want to re-assess your definitions of "property rights" and "civil liberties" in the state of Washington. Because you don't have any.
Elaborate. My understanding is Washington caselaw is stand your ground.
I think you've just spent too much time in Snohomish and King counties.
I 'owned' a house w/barn + garage on 10 acres outside of Spokane, when the county Planning and Zoning board rezoned my land as they are allowed under state law, because Washington instituted a development Master Plan which zones every square inch of this state. (much like agenda 21-30). It is state law they can do this.
Guess what happened after they rezoned my property? It could be used for almost nothing, zoned fucking urban reserve and they naturally boosted the taxes, capiche? No guns necessary. /I sold the place.
People need to pay more attention to property laws, and how many entities really have control of them.
Yes, and?
You strike me as a person who wants to benefit from the tax advantages of being rural while being as close as possible to the metro and then complaining about encroachment.
There's a word for that: hypocrite.
He's already there.
