Another scout goes down

As a former scout, I'm starting to get a bit scared. USA Today's headline read Lightning in park kills 1, hurts 7 on Sequoia scout outing. I don't even have to read the rest of the story to know that somewhere in the article it was mentioned that "The scouts were taken to a nearby military base hospital for observation." One by one the little merit-badge-clad patriots are being taken down and replaced with agents of propaganda (read yesterday's post).

I'm sure my name is on the list somewhere. I can build a fire, kill my own food, and survive in the wilderness. Surely I'm a threat to national security because I don't need the government to survive. Imagine a world where people don't need to fear for their means of survival, just don't imagine too hard, at least not while you're under cloudy skies.
