      My kid’s daycare is right beside the military base in Kingston. This base is within artillery range of Fort Drum. There is a 100% chance she gets shelled during the opening salvo.

      My wife and I have agreed upon a set of leading indicators to send my child to rural Cape Breton, and another set to send them to friends in Europe.

      I will die at the border of this great nation, but my child’s life is not mine to forfeit.

          Of course not.

          But I’ve got plans in case you do. And I need to watch for early warning signs because my child will be shelled in the opening salvo.

          Let’s revisit this in exactly 4 years. I don’t think there’s anything that could make that statement sound reasonable between now and then.
