You silly asshole. First, there is NO collapse in sight except for
your sanity. Second, who is going to RUN? Not me. Let the bandits try,
I will put a 9 mm up their nose.

Take off into totally strange territory, you don't know who lives
there, you don't know where the hiding places are, don't know where
the paths are or where they lead, don't know where the plants grow,
don't know which patch of berries has the hornet nest (don't ask),
don't know where the ponds are or where the fish hide, don't know
where the best places to camp are...

I think the closest to nature alanc has gotten is to sprawl on a lawn,
somewhere. Once. As a little kid. He got paddled for getting "messy".
