I remember after Hurricane Katrina, the silly notion I had in my head that the government can protect us in emergencies evaporated and never came back. I anticipate that any large nationwide emergency such as a nuclear attack would be total chaos for a very very long time.
For me it was when the (German) government kicked my door down and said hey you, you're homeless now.
You misspelled "when Bush Jr. and Cheney stole an election in broad daylight."
