have things gotten ever closer to complete civil breakdown?

The 1960's seemed more breakdown-y to me... And I think the crime numbers bear that out.
'Course I don't see things getting BETTER either...
I tightened up a lot of my home and self-defense routines about three years ago... related more to my changing neighborhood than the national scene. So my big SD epiphany was three years ago, but I don't attribute it to paranoia... just common sense.
I'm holding the course steady and haven't changed anything over the past few weeks.
I've read quite a few old newspapers in connection with academic research. Seems to me America has always had it's share of random crime crazies. One factor that's different now though is the way it's splashed all over us in media barrages.
But I hear you. History shows plenty of examples of how things can change quickly and dramatically. IMO, the readers of this forum are ahead of that curve... Thanks for telling about "the knockout game"...
