CHANNEL POLICY: While I continue to respect everyone's right to disagree, I have established a policy of summarily removing blatantly stupid, off-topic or insulting comments with extreme prejudice. Repeat offenders will be blocked just as quickly and without notice or remorse. I allow and encourage disagreement and discussion, but my channel is not a conduit for adolescent or childish behavior. 'nuf said.

The zombie theme is meant to be an intentionally humorous metaphor for civil unrest, natural disaster, SHTF, TEOTWAKI, WROL, simple self self-defense or any other scenario resulting in people acting "inhuman" towards each other.

~ St. John Chrysostom

"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark, the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light"

"God will not look you over for medals, degrees, or diplomas, but for scars."

and then go to war, defeated warriors go to war first... and then seek to win."

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
~ Robert A. Heinlein

"Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
~ John Stuart Mill
