They always underestimate the events, trying to be positive I guess.

Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.

Roccland is in retirment.

It was created to slay the mighty "Monte Quest"...

You will notice that Monte does not post here very often since the great battle has ended...

Roccland will remain in retirement until such time as required to slay yet another liar or fraud on this site (Monte was the former...his posts were par none...yet his insecurities got the best of him)

Roccman was banned into the abyss (by Monte), but due to the diplomatic efforts of Roccland ... Aaron "the true wise one"...released for me Roccman to continue on its mission of underscoring the magnitude of the nature of the beast that closes in quickly on the human species.

Even the mighty Roccland cannot slay the beast that is ahead of us.

Can you dig it?

I really think the list of priorities is wrong:


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')ood production and distribution would come first, then public health (clean water, sewage, sanitation, medical services), then public safety including the armed forces, and finally some level of economic activity that uses petroleum products.



I think it will be:

1. Military and police
2. Food (to avoid riots)
3. Public health
4. Economy



What do you all think about the priority ranking?

Monte is still with us...

His "Park Ranger" - (I doubt he was ever a GS-11 or 13) - picture pops up every once in a while.

Hey Monte - if you are reading this give us a download on what GS level you made in the USDI...Like JB - I doubt you were "registered"...if you know what I mean...

What Monte ?? - a seasonal employee fighting fires or going on digs? Maybe toilet maintenance guy...you ever project manage an EIS?

Usually those who make it into the Park Service stay for 30 or 40 years...Monte is not a team player...so he left the Park Service...

I also am not a team player with morons, but then again I don't poz as a Ranger here to make my dick look bigger.

Let us know how you are doing bro. We all care about cha ...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Shannymara', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', 'I') think it will be:

1. Military and police
2. Food (to avoid riots)
3. Public health
4. Economy

What do you all think about the priority ranking?

I think your ranking is more accurate. I'd probably switch 3 and 4, and I think 1 would be by far the highest.


I think agricultural production would be up there too, especially for those farmers that supply the military.

2. Food (to avoid riots)

I think (at first) it will be:

1. Military and police
2. Infrastructure
3. Economy
4. Food (to avoid riots)
5. Public health

Then:

1. Military and police
2. Food (to avoid riots)
3. Infrastructure
4. Economy
5. Public health

Aside: I hate to break up the self-congratulatory back slapping but neither of you "got rid of" Monte. Neither of you were involved in the final discussions about where this board was heading, although you may have had something to do with inspiring the "mob mentality" that provoked two mods to visciously and savagely attack him.

I am sure you didn't know about that either but if you are I hope you are Very proud of yourselves. BEcasue it was a piece of work and a clear example where this world is heading and how it will get there. Savagely.

1. Food and heated housing and shelters (to save lives)
2. Police and National Guard (to maintain domestic tranquility)
3. Congress (to pass laws opening up US parks and wildernesses to oil exploration)
4. Military (to maintain "free trade" with oil-exporting countries)
5. Economy

See I put military first becuase people will get panicky and try hoarding supplies. The only way for the authorities to keep them from panicking and being able to distribute food equally is to have a very visible presence... to my thinking.

Thinking of North Koreas priorities is a good clue. None of us have put securing more of the last of the resources as a priority and yet most of us think that is what our governments are doing.

Agreed!

The military will get theirs.

After that it is a crap shoot.

I made a light-hearted comment that actually hid my deep feelings on the matter. I've never been in a mob and have dealt with Monte one to one. He's dangerous and deluded in my opinion.

It's a pity because he's amassed a lot of knowledge. It's just a shame he comes at it from a fixed viewpoint. He wouldn't know scientific method if it slapped him in the face.

So, before you get all high and mighty, I AM proud of myself for exposing Monte as a fraud and a bully.
