I’m also a father of young children and have similar concerns. I see no obvious solutions.

I would call the following triggering events:

1) Two or more large American cities getting nuked.
2) President B. Hussein declaring martial law and suspending the U.S. Constitution.

I haven’t yet figured out where I’d run to.
Maybe running isn’t the answer?

Don’t really know what to do… the problem is too hard…

However, staying put and doing nothing is NOT a correct response…(study the Soviet Gulag or the Nazi holocaust if you have doubts).
