Many people nowadays are quite aware that the world they live in is going to the toilet. Aside from the geophysical part that seems to be going haywire and could be nothing other than the planets cycles, there are plenty of manmade catastrophes that loom on the horizon.

Oil markets are much tighter because of the countries of China and India and their increasing need of energy to fuel their booming economies, and new finds of oil fields cannot keep up with the demand. The debacle of the world economies needs no introduction. In short, bad times, really bad times could and probably be coming to a neighborhood near you.

How Not To Be Seen in post #6. Seriously, see it. lol.
Look! A warm front!
Not saying anyone’s crazy; just that I do not choose to live like that; I’d rather be in heaven than live on earth in that mode. Doesn’t seem very enjoyable to me, and at my age, I choose to enjoy life or be in a better place.
