You know, Kart, I've mentally moved past this election. Sure, I'll vote (not for Romney or Hussein), but however the election turns out, it turns out. Note, I've put “PREPARE” in my tag line because there is the only thing that makes sense to me now.
I don't know when critical mass will be achieved - whether that is in the near future or later on, but I can keep preparing and watching and every prep makes me safer and makes my personal world better.
I don't see any point now in wasting time trying to place blame that brought about this country's destruction. Massive debt is the reality and it will surely sink the country. War in a strategic area will hurry the sinking.
I think each of us has to be able to create our own good personal world when the rest of the country falls apart. I know your personal world will be fine and other preppers will also have good personal worlds.
What else is there to say - PREPARE.

So, wasting a vote? I can point to people like you when my children ask how the communist got re-elected.
