So today you get another rant. Two in one week, feel special. I’m not much of a political guy. Never have I ever felt a real love of either the Republicans nor Democrats. I’ve tended to be more in the middle. Having friends that are strong supporters of both parties I have been overwhelmed lately with propaganda. One of the things I’ve seen a lot is the lesser of two evils line.
This week I’ve given situational awareness some serious thought and decided to share with you.
Wiki describes Situational awareness as:
Situational awareness is the perception of environmental elements with respect to time and/or space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status after some variable has changed, such as time.
Basically paying attention to your surroundings to make good decisions.
So last night at work we had some amazing storms. Wind strong enough to snap trees and throw stuff around the parking lot. The storm caused the power to go out for about four hours. All in all it was a pretty bad night. Things turned out well and we got everything taken care of. But it was a serious test and I found out what of my edc worked well, what didn’t and what was seriously lacking.
Today’s post is a short rant. Whats really setting me off is fools that accept whatever they are told. The latest thing going around is the NRA small arms treaty. I’ve seen people all over Facebook and YouTube bitching about this. Even a few Youtubers that I respect put out videos on fighting this treaty to take our guns away. I’m not just going to shoot down this rumor but the whole mentality.
Happy Independence Day! Go enjoy your beer and hot dogs and remember all the work and loss of lives that went into forming this nation. I’ll be enjoying some Founding Fathers Light Beer.
I’m also sharing some videos and a link to the constitution for the to read. Enjoy the day, drink a beer, plot a revolution in a tavern and be safe. I’ll be back tomorrow with a good DIY project.
