To be honest I don't know why I keep visiting this thread because all I do is start thinking about how bad it can get. In reality we have a bad situation but it could be a lot worse, and I fear that it will get to even worse conditions before it gets better. I have been lax on supplying the staple foods so I need to start on that and the meds, but everything else is covered pretty much except I need a lot more .22lr, and some reloading supplies.

It is times like this I thank God I spent time with my PaPa who was a survivor of the Great Depression. My PaPa taught me a lot about living off the land, adapting, fishing, the outdoors, etc. Back then I thought it was fun and neat to spend time with him, but now that I am older I realize that he was passing on important lessons. Least I digress.

Is it just because I am getting old, or do things seem to change more frequently and with more intensity than they once did? Things seem less predictable and more chaotic with each passing day. Almost nothing surprises me anymore. The recent economic mess is just one aspect of this tremendous rate of change that seems to be occurring all over the world. Well, enough of my foolish esoteric ramblings. Do any of you have this feeling of some un-named force of rapid change in all areas of human endeavor?

...If you consider that the US is printing money to stimulate the economy makes you think whats going on. Is it really that bad because this is a desperate measure which will feed inflation the moment the economy starts to grow, our neighbour Bob Mugabe can tell everything how to do it. Scary. We've been sheltered so far, but I fear we are going to get whipped at a later stage.

Everone on Obama's cabinet is wall street. Who is getting bailed out?

They are using classic socialism to try to break the country and excellerate our move to the North American Union. Trade in your Dollars and get $0.20 in Ameros in exchange - if you are lucky.
