Book Review: As I Walk These Broken Roads
Book Review: As I Walk These Broken Roads
. By Davis M. J. Aurini. 2012. 314 pages.
We're not always reading about the history of communism.
For years now we've been dabbling in the Zombie/EMP/Post-Apocalypse genre. Some are entertaining and others tragic, but all offer unique and creative predictions of what the world will look like after a major event. Davis M. J. Aurini's book, As I Walk These Broken Roads, is a new and refreshing view into a post-event world.
Aurini's story is about a lone traveler in a world long destroyed from nuclear war. Think Mad Max on a motorcycle. He is a confident and capable man with a sense for right and wrong. A survivor. His name is Wentworth. He is among a sparse population that, although self-sufficient, are not curious about returning to a world of machines and modern comforts.
Aurini introduces a new theme to the collapsed world theme: friendship. While all post-apocalypse books present new relationships within a series of events, we would argue that Aurini's book switches this. Wentworth develops a new friendship that takes the reader through the story's events.
A pet peeve of ours with many books in this genre are the common, accepted events that authors duplicate with little critical thought. We've recently thrown a couple books into the trash within the first 100 pages because of mass rape or division-size gangs consuming cities and sweeping across the land - all just moments after an EMP or other collapse. Please. Any student of human nature knows these are signs of authors with an imagination:focus ratio far out of whack. The events in Broken Roads are both believable and realistic. The only head-scratcher for us was the seemingly endless supply of cigarettes for the chain-smoking characters. (Maybe the only surviving industry was tobacco? And maybe the lack of lawyers in the story suggests they all suffered horribly before dying alone? If so, just give Aurini even more credit for finding justice in an otherwise unfair world.)
If post-war humanity from Aurini's book were represented in a line graph, the time of the story would be presented as pulling up out of the bottom of the post-war dip. While few items from the pre-war world still work in the story and those that do are held together with duct tape, communities are forming, travel is somewhat safe, and trade is thriving. Further, Aurini's main characters are of the intellectually curious types who are the seeds for the next modern civilization. Thus, we'd say As I Walk These Broken Roads is a positive view of humanity based at a moment in time when negativity could prevail.
We congratulate Comrade Aurini for writing a fine book. And we hope it is not his last.

It can't be racism if blacks are voting 94% for the party that wanted to keep slavery, filibustered civil rights, destroyed the black family and created generations of dependency and poverty.

When Liberals Attack
There will be more liberals on the attack in the coming months. More school shootings. More senseless death.
Here's why: the left has diluted religious and traditional family values for over three generations now.
They have washed the basics of manners and human dignity and respect from our culture to the point that the least stable among them are now in the news.
Why would someone who can rationalize, and ignore the evils of, abortion, affirmative action, endless welfare and countless other failures of humanity all of a sudden decide NOT to kill someone they disagree with? In the cases of Columbine, Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook, the losers actually tried to maximize their body count. We need to outlaw unstable liberals.
How can we fix this? Some are looking at the coming economic collapse of the US dollar as the solution. End the welfare and subsidies and inefficiencies and restore the value of hard work and community. In other words, get a job and be a part of society, or starve. We're not sure those hopes will be met, but we are struggling with another solution to this values problem.

Also from The Truth About Guns, gun-maker LaRue is limiting their sales to law enforcement.
LaRue's announcement:
Due to the recent and numerous new Anti-gun/Anti-2nd Amendment laws passed and/or pending across our country, LaRue Tactical has been forced to reconsider how we provide products to state and local agencies.To those in law enforcement who wish to disarm the populace, we go one further than LaRue and say "turn 'em in."
Effective today, in an effort to see that no legal mistakes are made by LaRue Tactical and/or its employees, we will apply all current State and Local Laws (as applied to civilians) to state and local law enforcement / government agencies. In other words, LaRue Tactical will limit all sales to what law-abiding citizens residing in their districts can purchase or possess.

2:35 mark:
I get a sense from the audience here that there is not a lot of enthusiasm for compliance.Answer: more like "camps," sir.
So my question would be: are there prisons being opened up for those of us who won't comply?
3:36 mark:
When angry people get together they form militias, folks. This country, this Western New York area, is prime for something like that.We'd suggest calling it a "group" or "club," and we'd suggest you don't wait until the next law.

But according to our elites in the MSM, we are "back from the brink." Today we are riding high on the four 'summers of recovery.' Today we have 1 of every 5 working-age adult out of work, which is damn better than 1 out of every 4!
We are raising the price of our Commie Obama Hat to $31.80, today's closing price of an ounce of silver. This is
If you think Obama and Bernanke can right the ship that is the US economy, then delay that hat purchase. But, if you suspect that they don't know what the hell they are doing, you may want to get your hat today.
