#6 The real man is the one who'll be among the survivors when Yellowstone blows, The Big one hits, and when the system does collapse, to include the next revolution. He won't be herded like cattle by a bunch of urban commissars into a kill zone.

Love how he uses a contraction right before complaining about contractions. Classic.

#10 Instant classic, Bad!

Here's another:

A modern man doesn't waste his time writing this crap. A righteous fisking of this crap, on the other hand, . . . . ;-p
