Martial law.

[Mortblanc]

It is all in the mindset boys.

We have several types here in the States;

Urban folks that worry about following the rules, even bad rules. Go with the flow, don't draw attention.

That or they are predators with laws written to protect them from TPTB and honest citizens. Swimming upstream against the trends.

Or the rural folk, who say "lets blow off the side of this hill and damn the f&^*ing river and call a hault to this BS."

I was just talking to a man today who runs water lines through rural areas of the Appilations for a living. His job is to go to each and every homeowner and get permission to cross their land.

By law he does not have to do so, but TPTB have found that if they do not they lose equipment to fire, theift and vandalizm, their pipelines are sabotagued and their people are shot by snipers in the woods.

That is today, right now, not 100 years ago.

It is all in the mindset of the people, what they will allow and what TPTB know they can get away with.

Urban areas are targeted because they can be saturated with troops. Pure and simple.

The same reason we can control the towns in Iraq and Afganistan or Viet Namn, but the countryside belongs to the enemy and even in town our troops can not move without enough numbers to protect themselves.
