Aren't you afraid of...

You were born into this life without a warranty and without a money-back guarantee.

So when people ask about the Citadel, and am I worried about being treated like the Davidians or the Weaver's, here's my answer: No.  If Bad People decide to treat me as a Davidian or Weaver, a domestic terrorist or extremist, they will do so regardless of where I live.  What would concern me more is being treated like a Davidian or Weaver while living in my current home.  At least in the Citadel I, and my fellow residents, will have thousands of Patriots at our shoulders.

Remember also, the common bond amongst those in the Citadel is Liberty.  Not religion.  Not race.  Not sex.  The Citadel will be open to the public.  It will be a source of work and revenue to the region.  It will, by design, be a tourist destination to help promote the out-dated notions of Liberty and personal responsibility.

We all know that our front door was GPS'd by Census a few years ago.  The ability for Bad People to drop a Drone strike on you already exists, right where you are this minute.  They can also follow you via cell and put the same missile up the tailpipe of your car.  They can dial your desk at work and when you answer, green-light the missile that will soon come through the window of your office.

If we have reached a point in America where They intend to purge Patriots, your odds improve if you stand with fellow Patriots, rather than simply sitting in your suburban Cape Cod house, waiting for the Stack.

Remember also: The true strength of the Citadel will shine in a SHTF world, where there is a loss of RoL and a loss of the ability for Bad People to effectively project their force upon our physical location.

If you think a storm is about to blow your house from the foundation, wouldn't you like a storm cellar?  If you think a war is coming for you, wouldn't you rather put yourself in a position to meet what comes with a few thousand allies?

There are no guarantees in Life. There is no crying in baseball.

Bad People may come for you.  It can happen here.

Prepare for what is coming the best way you are able.  Personally, I'll feel better about my wife's odds of survival if we live in a town populated by folks like Janos, Bill Nye, Miller, Miss Violet, Wirecutter, BonnieGadsden, NCRenegade, RegT, Zoomie, Vernon, Sandman, and so many others who are in this community.  The Citadel will not be for all of them.  But I can promise this: Those who choose to live in the Citadel will have the largest, best-prepared, like-minded Tribe at their shoulders should the need arise.

And if S never HTF, we'll have a vibrant community with smart and educated children, and the only people unemployed will be those who don't need to work and choose not to work.  In my book, that's pretty much the American Dream.

Nope, I ain' skeered.  ;)
