Ridicule is neither effective nor praiseworthy. But apparently you can offer nothing of substance to refute the claim.

There are two mutually exclusive scenarios for survival:
[] solitary rural refuge - that escapes a pandemic or other similar catastrophe, or
[] fortified community - that cooperates in supporting each other in the midst of an economic collapse, civil unrest, etc.

My personal preference is for a cooperative group, but it may turn out that the solo survivalists will have the last laugh.

Citation?

That means the place where it can be found in his writings, not a quotation of someone's quoting it.

Not necessarily.

You could say: have your quite little place on 80 acres, off the grid, with an orchard etc... That some of the guys you were in Iraq with, family etc knew to rally up on if the need ever presented itself.

In the meantime you get to enjoy the life you want.

In a year... I'll know how it works.

Letter to Francis Adrian Van der Kemp, 30 July 1816.
Don't you just hate it when that happens?

That's a claim, not a citation. A citation means name of the work, edition, and page number.

Should be enough for you to look it up and see if its accurate.

No it's not a citation, it's the original source. A citation would require someone else saying Jefferson said it. I don't need the citation because the original source is in existence, and it contains the actual statement.

Indeed my posting on this is a citation, since it references the original source, which is what a citation is. Therefore with much aplomb... if you insist on the citation I cite post #283 284, and 285 as my citation.

Therefore, your assertion cannot be proved. So by the standards of logic it's false. Try to figure out how I knew you had never seen the document or its publication. Obviously if I thought there was any chance you had I wouldn't have challenged you.
