AT THE END OF THE WORLD
The end of the world, it has a slew of meanings. I have been to the other end of the world and back, time has ended or nearing apocalypse. Le Fin due Monde, I have come to discover quiet recently that it is also a state of mind. It is a way of life for remote civilizations, not just for an individual but also for Sovereign states. While looking for employment recently I was lectured by a 16 year old farm boy on the importance of being able to grow your own food. The important part being he was certain, ‘one day the stores would stop producing’. Whatever that means.
Since wild longhorns and 600 pound pigs roam the neighborhoods, it is common to hunt. Owning several huge guns is also hand common. So common in fact I know a very strict vegetarian here whom has shot several a cow with his heavy armaments. The surlier men show homage to their love of large guns by pasting stickers on the back windshields of large trucks. The man stickers often feature a semi automatic of sorts and the logo “Defend Hawaii”. It makes one think that perhaps the cow issue might be a bigger problem than originally thought.
