...”As long as their money is well guarded, they could care less”...
YES! Most of us have little power against this huge federal government, much of which has become corrupt. Add to that the ignorance of a population which has elected people who wouldn’t know how to mop a floor, much less assess any kind of financial situation and you have a recipe for obliteration. In addition, only 15 states elected the President. The other states might just as well have not voted. Democracy? I think not. So, what do normal people, by the millions, do? Well, I think it would be a good idea to organize our own communities into giant “neighborhood watches” which study and recognize problems and potential problems before they erupt. Train people in First Aid and CPR and encourage neighbor helping neighbor while teaching that the parasites will not be accomodated. Everyone has to participate in one way or another to enjoy the security of the members. We cannot rely on the government for our well-being. That is clear. They have destroyed our freedom and possibly, our nation through avarice and greed. Trying to preserve what is left is the issue. I believe our currency could become worthless and then, personal skill and bartering will be the currency. And, oh, yes, you had better learn how to protect yourself which is something none of us is comfortable with. We have lived in a false sense of security for a long time. I thought 9-11 would cause people to wake up but it only seemed to deepen our former problems. America is in a state of denial because the truth is too scary to look at. People need to prepare for the worst while hoping for the best. Just waiting around for someone to tell us what to do will not work.

Good advice. I’d also recommend that people pack and leave states run by thieving liberals, and move to states that have strong Christian values, respect for private property rights and believe in the rule of law, especially our Constitution. These are the places where the safety and well-being of your families will be a primary community concern, and America will be reborn.
