I do believe that if we don't make a change in the White House it will be sooner rather then later.<br /><br />We have been prepping and buying for a very long time and have turned an entire room in our house into a storage area.Members of my family are of the belief that it won't happen..I have tried until I am blue in the face trying to get them to come around, but still with all that is going on they just don't want to accept the fact that "something is about to happen". We even purchased silver for them last Christmas as a sort of "jump start" and that didn't work. So unfortuantly I have washed my hands of it. We now worry about my immediate family, and all my prep work is for them..because I refuse to be like the other members of my family and stand in line for a cup of soup.Jacked Up Glock Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859265951050692498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-71657741529214632802011-10-19T08:15:07.865-04:002011-10-19T08:15:07.865-04:00Ausprepper, I think the best option is find a way ...Ausprepper, I think the best option is find a way to make people care and change it back.Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775363118892957212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-56796037870133138382011-10-19T06:19:21.366-04:002011-10-19T06:19:21.366-04:00I think a lot of us, myself included, see the wall...I think a lot of us, myself included, see the walls of tyranny closing in daily. <br />We see that the vast majority of the public couldn't care less, and we realize that if the boys at the Bureau came and snuffed us out that the world at large wouldn't even blink <br />And so we think "if my options are rural Zimbabwe NOW or North Korea LATER, I'll take the former..."<br />Personally, I'm still short about 100 kilos of rice and 10000 rounds of 22LR so I for one hope Bernake keeps those printing presses going just a little longer...Ausprepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14265367520081363009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-56231532927969831172011-10-18T19:27:59.162-04:002011-10-18T19:27:59.162-04:00Stephen, thanks for the plug.

But usually after a weekend in Denver, where the citizens there remind me that a decent section of society has decided that they are too stupid to think of the future, but rather, what cool gadget or gizmo makes me cooler than my friends, spending their money until there is nothing left.<br /><br />I'm ashamed some days for what we have become in this great country-- a nation of 10 year olds with money. "I want, I want, and I want it now" has replaced the old way of thinking "work hard and good things might happen, and only spend what we earn".<br /><br />And some days it feels like the stupids are winning.Mudbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483155829643371296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-91708110850487516492011-10-18T14:19:15.066-04:002011-10-18T14:19:15.066-04:00As you well know from our talks, I completely agre...As you well know from our talks, I completely agree.

Others prep and still don't have a clue to what life will be like. I have been re-watching the TV series Jericho. This show can show many of us a way of life to come.
