> but like a good boy scout, I am prepared, and I continue to prepare.

The Boy Scout argument will always resonate true with me. If Boy Scouts ran the show, things like Obama and 9/11 couldn’t happen. These things DO happen thru want of preparation.

There is that old parable about the grasshopper and the ant: the grasshopper thought it was crazy for the ant to be preparing for winter because there was plenty of food freely available. Then when winter came, the grasshopper froze to death, starving.

I’m a believer in stocking-up on necessities like food now, as shortages of some items might be more likely during the next year or two. There are the deflationary trend and possible resulting shrinkages of some commodity operations coupled with unforeseen disasters (natural and/or otherwise). Also, if a real war breaks out with certain nations, freight fuel could suddenly become rather expensive.

BTW, the NZ apples are good. :-)

My time as a young Boy Scout comprises my happiest moments of my youth. It taught me what it was to be an American... to respect and love GOD and it taught me the righteous path of Conservatism. I am prepared... always have been... always will be.
