You know, I read this because I was curious, because it is both vocation and avocation to me to want to understand people, who they are and why they think, feel, and behave the way they do.

Sadly, in thinking back over it, it is clear why many people fear their government at this moment in time even if it is hard for those who do not share that worldview to understand; much of what MacDonald (a pseudonym) darkly fantasized in the Diaries seems to mirror current events - certainly the gun confiscations that set off his fictional revolution.  To some that is clearly disconcerting.

Not sure what to make of that - just worth observing.  Have to hope it was fantasy and not prophecy - and that those who can change the course will do so.  But it is hard to imagine they will, when terms like "patriot groups" are already being used as a pejorative.  Eerily familiar.
