What's Dead (Short Answer: All Of It)

The “vultures” might be that nice family two doors down with the new infant. The family that didn’t realize how painful watching their child starve to death could be - the family that didn’t cook much and had only one day’s supply of food in the house. So James, you need to take a deep breath - we’re all in this together. Plant some fruit trees - put in a garden - pick up a few extra quarts of oil for your car... it could get weird.

Out of the seven things listed I won't count "life". So out of those six things, three are things that people shouldn't be depending on the government for. In addition, the government was NEVER intended to provide those things, and especially not by means of taxing those who "have". These things I'm talking about are Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

People choose who and what they're going to trust, and I think the times we're living in are proof enough that they have chosen poorly.

It is a positive note. But only because the things which he describes indicate that the worst would have come....which is more than we can say about the present situation which only continues to get worse and worse. At least what Denninger describes is a form of closure. The alternative is to live indefinitely in a government controlled limbo and all bow to our masters in their high places in D.C. But I don't think we'll have to worry about that either. Those in D.C. who are authorized to fix this mess are doing something equivalent to fleas killing their dog.

A lot of people have told me that we all have to live on this dog. Generally,this holds true, but certain of those among us will live better once the dog is dead. Let us remember that there's a vast and important difference between a parasite and a scavenger, and not everybody is a parasite.

you know, for many years people have talked about protecting your person and your property by shooting someone, and just knew in my heart that I don't think I could actually do that......

but now, I think I can.....if they attack my home I guess its curtains for them and curtains for me........

God have mercy on our souls....

I think you misunderstand. There’s a big difference between the nice family two doors down and the inner city thugs trying to take everything from everyone else.
