I used to listen to Bible prophecy in the 80's, when the cold war was raging, but nothing happened. Then Y2K, with Art Bell, and in those days, from the 70's to 2011, when I finally transitioned and found happiness for the first time in my life, I was hoping, deep down, that something would end my self hate and suffering. I'm not saying this country couldn't fall apart, but people have been predicting man's demise for as long as man's been around. Ironically, many of the right wing Christians out there in the Bible Belt and everywhere in America, really, believe that the LGBT movement and us finally being protected from them by laws, will be the main reason that this country will go the way of Sodom and Gomorrah. I wasted decades of not transitioning because of all the ->-bleeped-<-e I listened to, but I'm going to die someday, but now it's going to be as the woman I've always been. If I could get my SRS today I would, but I'm going to get it ASAP. I still listen to Coast to Coast sometimes, but I take much of it with a pillar of salt, and Alex Jones has gotten millions to believe the Russians and Chinese are already here, FEMA has millions of plastic caskets stashed around the country and it's time to buy your AK's and AR-15's. I actually heard some pretty mainstream preachers talk about how to make your home look like it had already been raided and ransacked when Y2K hit. I simply don't believe the men and women in our military would just let our country be taken over by the right wing zealots and not only let our rights be trampled on, but that they'd be a part of it against their friends and neighbors. If it happens, it happens. I have several months of meds. I'm far more frightened by the fact that if all this happened I'd be SOL in obtaining pain meds that I'm undoubtedly addicted to. Now that does scare me! Mira
