Now, I just find myself sitting back and listening to them bitch about the cost of fuel and how "crazy" everything is getting.

Not sure if it's apathy or what, but can you really "prepare" for this? I've done the solar thing, insulated my house, new windows all that... gonna start stashing more food.... but ..... It'll be time for a lawn chair, favorite beverage and shades... watch all this crap go down.

Wondering if I should invest in a gun or not.... lol.... but what's the point?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('BigTex', '
')The main problem with government--ANY GOVERNMENT--is that its ultimate objective is to protect its power and expand its scope. Show me any government in history that has not sought to do this, no matter what the political leaders said they were trying to do.

I find Animal Farm to be a more useful lesson than the much more often cited 1984. The reason being is that 1984 is used as a justification for political change. Animal Farm shows how overturning the old in favor of the new doesn't necessarily yield a utopia but merely a new form of oppression.

No, I do not resemble Bruce Campbell, in any of his many interesting roles.

I'm a nice looking fellow, but you wouldn't pick me out of a lineup if you were asked to guess which one was BigTex.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ibon', '
')What I think has changed recently is that concrete events are leaving the arena of future risk and becoming in your face here and now reality events.

This is happening right here and now. What a wonderful evolution from the past years of only speculating on this. TO see it before our eyes unfolding holds great promise for change.

guess it's like that parable of plants growing exponentially and covering up a pond
one minute the pond is only covered for 50%, the next minute you're fucked
