Food isn’t the only thing I’ve been stocking up on.

One concern I have is the large amount of illegal aliens. In my town of Houston they are everywhere I turn. Will they leave of their own accord when the economy tanks, or will they stay because as bad as it is here it is probably worse in their dusty homeland?

I predict that lots of American folks will want to do those low-skilled, poorly-paying jobs when they need to fill their tummy and have no other option. This creates a conflict, and our government has already picked sides on the issue: NOT OURS.

Also, Affirmative Action: When times get real tough the populace will have no more patience for quotas and racial set-asides. Would you be willing to allow a lesser-qualified person get the job you want, nay, NEED? Would you willingly allow your kids to starve due to the color of their skin? I wouldn't.

I bring up those two points because I see a simmering anger in the populace right now regarding these topics, and would assume it would get worse with our coming hard times.

When push comes to shove the one ounce of lead in a shotgun slug is easily going to trump the ounce of gold in one’s pocket.
