   Been off the mainland all week.  I designed a new mold (series of molds)   
   on my laptop the first day, but after that I did vacation things.   
      
      
   I saw Jim and Richard talking about post apocalyptic retribution, but I   
   wasn't interested enough to setup Usenet on the mail client on my laptop.   
      
   I'll just say this.  Some of the former Royal Marines who have worked   
   with and trained with US forces have a much higher estimation of US   
   military capability than Richard seems to.  One such claimed on YouTube   
   seems to think the US could hold their own against the rest of the   
   world.  I don't think that's true, but I do think it might take the   
   whole world or nearly the whole world to take us down.  Conquering the   
   US mainland for occupation would require nuclear annihilation.  Because   
   of the size of the USA it might still be a challenge.  We would have the   
   best armed partisan forces in the history of the world.  Literally "an   
   American with a rifle behind every blade of grass" (quote - not mine),   
   and atleast one jack of all trades capable of bringing ideas to life in   
   every town, borough, and village.  Even the smallest little communities   
   so small they aren't even incorporated (or draw the attention of direct   
   bombing hits) has somebody who can "fix things" if its worth it.   
      
   If Jim & Snag survive the first strike look out.  Invaders will have to   
   deal with both Hell and high water.
