Activists developed and refined suicidal tendencies into one perfect storm of irresistible chaos. Cities -- with their delicate life support system -- elevated this storm to an even more deadly intensity. Politics overpowered science. Prejudice overcame logic. Politically biased education corrupted the minds of our young adults.The storm began with rioters claiming violence was protected free speech. And the Media defended the lie.Lawbreakers exceeded the number that a standard police force could control. The streets were unsafe, day and night.But modern technology -- aided by top secret advances in propulsion -- made colonization of nearby planets credible. Volunteers from all over the US came to Cape King for training: survival under any conditions, military training, translating alien languages, and creating a functioning society from scratch.Civilization had an escape hatch. For a short time.
