Well now, learn something every day. I'll have to stop picturing you as an angry Paul Blart. Though FULL police rights is a bit of a stretch if you're governed by 17 CSR 20-2.015.

uFull powers of arrest on should say. Also my job is cvered under the department of homeland security. We are audited by over three federal agencies. I won't be able to give any more information and I'm sure you understand why.

In addition, I WISH I had Blart's seguey.

Too bad your godless utopia will fall to the organized, driven might of my group of religious zealots*.

*They'll be worshiping me, of course.

Did you used to go by the internet name of Gecko45, by any chance?

Did you rub my junk and swipe my Dentine at airport security in MN/St Paul? I was wearing my Awesome Possum tee shirt.

You need to pay extra for that

Once an anarchist utopia is properly established, it becomes impervious to hostile takeover. After all, who would you attack?

...anyway, you'd only be able to vaguely threaten us until we colonized space. If your rabble were to make it all the way up to the orbital habitats, we may even invite you to join our society. Remedial education would be provided free of charge, of course.

No, but my radio host name was Wakefield if that helps any.

Whoa now, aren't we getting ahead of ourselves? You're going to be teaching the terrified survivors of the apocalypse long division, not founding a space program.

Also, there isn't a society religion hasn't been successful in taking over yet, the odds are in my favor!

I can shoot stuff, grow stuff, change stuffed diapers, fix stuff, break stuff, keep track of stuff, appropriate stuff and cook stuff. Just don't distract oh look, a MOPAR!!!!!

huh? what were we talking about again?

ADHD is a bitch.

I'm a scientist and I'm good at shooting stuff. We could use the bombs and weapons of mass destruction I create to take over the peaceful tribes, such as the anarchist utopia.

I will be cutting trees and doing some farming in Oscoda county. If you can find me you can join me. Braden

Psh. A science-minded people free of the shackles of governments & religions? I give us O'Niel colonies in twenty years. Two generations to crack FTL.

How do you guys plan to keep your soldiers from defecting when they realize how much better our rich, enlightened, leaderless lifestyle is than eating weeds & being yelled at by "higher-ups"?

I have a DIY mentality, the skill set to match and a military background, including leadership training.

I know enough about survival to keep myself and my family alive indefinitely provided there is no major medical crisis. I am seriously considering getting EMT training, though.

Why, the threat of eternal damnation, of course. And it'll be more than weeds and yelling, we'll have drugs and brothels with captured women ( and men, we Osterists aren't that sort of religion), and captured men (and women, we Osterists aren't that sort of religion) to farm for us. The sticking point is I'll have to perform a few miracles, but I'm a pretty talented guy.

That doesn't look like a good way to store your guns in a zombie apocalypse.

I have lots of body hair so I'm a mobile source of kindling and warmth/insulation.

I think he was patrolling the bathrooms for errant senators at that time. Depending on when that was I may or may not have been doing flybys on the highway over there.

I can do anything. My friends call me the encyclopedic shiny happy person.

+1. "I know a little bit of something about just about everything"

Whenever there is a task that needs to be done, I can't help myself but to try to do it... gets me into trouble sometimes...

I can drink copious amounts of alcohol

In reply to Hungary Bill:

you and salanis will be a good pair then.

I also forgot to mention I'm an anthropologist/archaeologist, so I have at least a theoretical understanding of how band-sized societies function. Reciprocal economies, some book knowledge of past culture's technology (i say book knowledge because I've never farmed with obsidian bladed cow jaw scythes, but i know of them) which may help when the gov't is all zombified.

Jay, your anarchist utopia is still doomed, but from within. Even though you will not have introduced organized religion and authoritarian/stateist thinking, your group is made of humans. Those ideas will come to the surface again as radical new ideas. It's part of human nature.

Or the Osterkrautarians will invade. Either way, doom.

All around mechanic, can operate damn near anything even if I have never seen it before, lots of building (like house) experience, a good shot and have the patience to make it count , not in the least afraid to get dirty, can field dress a deer or any other varmint, lots of other various and sundry survival skills and the cold bloodedness to use them when necessary.
