In the precise, correct order HH!

You see what I see happening within the next year (IMHO)! It's going to get outright nasty, and medieval in the urban areas.

We are prepared... (and twelve miles from the closest small hamlet!)

I sure wish I could "see" something else coming. But I just don't. Here's something people need to understand.. It's a bit of a story so bear with me. :-)

There's a lot of extreme talk here among survivalists and CW2 types about the section-9/welfare hoards overtaking the "nice" neighborhoods and there being mayhem and pandemonium. It "might" happen this way. We don't live in a population center and are well prepared against this sort of thing, so I don't give it a lot of thought nor do I dwell on it. However....

I left a high paying corporate sector job back during mid 2005. I had been in that environment for nearly five years and was able to get a very up close view of the very people who couldn't pay ARMs (sub prime mortgages) when they ballooned. These people are NOT welfare class, uneducated, ignorant or underpaid. They are very well educated, very well paid, intelligent, and competitive. But the problem is that they're also filled with want and greed and they're willing to put a coworker out of a job, or even shut down an entire business unit for personal advancement. Most of the ones that I ever came in contact with lived on the "edge" of disaster financially. They worked full time as did their wives, and NEITHER could afford to lose a job because it would have been financially disastrous! For that matter, neither could afford to miss a paycheck or suffer a pay reduction.

O.K. you say...so what's the problem here? I'll tell you. The people I'm talking about in that last paragraph are greedy and nasty on a good day when things are going their way. Does everybody think that these people are going to become nicer people when they've lost everything and are forced into a lifestyle change?! We'd like to think that they'll be humbled and convert into better people, but those who understand this world for what it is know that this doesn't happen without the presence and intervention of God.

My point here is that America is going to have a brand NEW class of poor. The section-9/welfare types are always going to have it badly. Liberals will see to that. But this new class of poor people is what concerns me. I know them from working with them for five straight years. They're not nice and they WILL hurt others in order to get ahead. I have no reason to believe that they won't do the same things in the future as they suffer loss on account of the financial problems. In fact, their past history fully leads me to believe that they'll act this way.

I've had others lately tell me that these new poor are going to go door to door and beg...or ask nicely for food and necessities. But I doubt it. These people are users of people and typically use others as a means to an end. This is at the core of their personalities and they'll continue to be this way unless (as I mentioned before), they have a change from the heart.
