When the depression comes along this time, the people who have leeched off the government their whole lives will continue to demand what they feel they are entitled too, and the government, if it is still around, will force people with plenty to give to those who don’t. If the government falls, these people will become bandits.

However, those of us who believe in working for a living, value-for-value relationships and business, and have respect for property rights will more than likely form communities similar to Galt’s Gulch in “Atlas Shrugged”.

The deciding factor will unfortunatly be Big Brother.

I can't see how it will play out, but I imagine that (given our current Culture), the roaming bands of thieves will be seen as the "poor, entitled masses" and the communities that respect property rights, and which are prepared to defend their property, will be seems as the "oppressive robber barons".

Good Guys and Bad Guys will be reversed (at least in my opinion). There will be warlords who are quite prepared to see that the Bad Guys get what's coming to them.
