Hey Wild Bill, thanks for the nice reply, it's good to be reassured. Own language, yes that would be Bootling, in Boonville, which is in Mendocino County (my county), about a three hour drive towards the coast. Not too many Bootling speakers now, but where I live there is an Indian reservation, where there are seven tribes who were all rounded up and brought here, so some of the native languages are being preserved. Side note - Nicole Mann, who is about to become the first Native American woman in space, is one of ours - on our roster! Local Girl Makes Good - we are SO proud of her!!!
Suspicious of government, yes indeedy, but you'd be surprised how many people got on board with the jab, so many hippies that used to say never trust the Man, are true blue lefties who were all over the vaxx. Natives too, though plenty on the rez are holding back. And yes, this is not a bad place to be if the SHTF. You can hunker down here real good. They say Butch Cassidy had one of his hideouts here, and I wouldn't doubt it.
When I sense folks on here are tending toward these things: (a) disillusionment with the way things are and little hope for change, or (b) agitating for some sort of forceful action, from now on I will post this link. I hope everyone here finds it and reads it, and shares with friends. I think you'll find it encouraging:
