Question: Ideas about how to realistically "Go Galt"?
11/7/12

Posted on 11/07/2012 2:53:04 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

I plan to cancel cable tv, quit the health club, am putting off purchases that I had planned IF Romney had won.

Am happy to hear ideas...I have to say my spouse was literally in tears last night, thinking about what dangers we face (not just as a family but as a society and a nation). We prayed together, asking God to guide us. HE knew this was going to happen, and HE can use this for HIS glory.

We just want to be as wise as possible with the resources God has provided.

So we welcome your input.

I'll add that my apartment is very weird for most people. I keep it terribly tidy. There are plenty of books (from back when I did buy books, and even then most are from yard sales, etc), and there's a normal amount of furniture and a few lamps, but little else. Rather than put a lot of pictures on the walls, I paint the walls different colors, so when you first walk in, there's no sense of emptiness or blankness... just an eerie silence.

People tend to walk in, slow down abruptly, and then start looking around like nervous cats with the hair on their necks going up. They can tell something's different but they don't always know what it is at first. When they see the kitchen, they realize: it's like a vacation cabin in the woods: there's couches, chairs, tables, beds, and lamps, but that's it.

Then they stare at me for a while without saying much. I suspect that when they go in the bathroom, they look in the medicine cabinet, and when I'm not in the kitchen, they check the freezer for human heads. LOL!

omney received 4 million fewer votes than did McCain four years ago.

About 2 million of those votes were actually for Sarah Palin, not ol' "Reach Across the Aisle" McQueeg. The other 2 million resulted from massive Democrat fraud and media malpractice.

Do NOT put anything in bank safe deposit boxes! In a natural disaster it could be difficult or impossible to get to your bank and in a bigger crisis (think bank holiday) there’s nothing to stop the feds from taking whatever they want out of your “safe” box.

I also recommend a that you unplug all electric items when not in use. I started doing that 5 years ago and was shocked by a 2/3rds reduction in my KwH usage. I unplug the microwave, coffee pot, washer/dryer, etc! I have to leave the fridge and main TV (programming) plugged in and I don’t mess with the 240 w stove.

Give it a try, you will be shocked!

In 2016 this country will be begging for a conservative.

I wonder if all these “blue” communities will be happy about the additional taxes they’ll be paying for all those new students...UHHH, they already ARE paying for the public schools.

I for one have been a very charitable indiviudal through the years. After this election, my contributions to the poor go to $0. Let the government take care of them. They voted for him.

I hope you guys give to those you know who are in need...if you belong to a local congregation then they deserve some help.

We give to charities we trust...Samaritan’s Purse for example.

Why when the majority of them are already Obama voters. Let Uncle Sugar take care of them. My charitable spirit has gone Galt.
