I'm going to guess the comments I'm receiving ... like yours ... are from people that have never anticipated the SHTF scenerio

I think your original comment was sincere and that you mean no disrespect by it, but let me share where I'm coming from.

First of all, when I was in the military, I understood how to get by on very little. I lived it. Both my income and my lifestyle did not allow for much in the way of choice, nor much in the way of extravvagance. I found that I could live like that, simply, where one can be happy to just have a seat at the end of a long day.

That said, choosing to live simply, and being forced to do so by government edict are two different things. I have anticipated a SHTF scenario, and believe that I could return to more simplicity. But I would not want to live like that for the long term, because I know the taste of freedom.

It's not whether one can live in simplicity, it's a question of whether one should be forced to for an extended period of time.

Thanx ... I appreciate that

My first comment WAS sincere and I was formulating my thoughts from a different perspecftive than from what the comments back at me were coming from

I wasn't going to get into a pissing match ... I've been here too long ... I was going to let the thread die ... but I DO appreciate your comment

Ask the HS grads .... in just a few days .... if they are Republican or democrat

I'll leave all the other questions to your imagination

They have no clue .... but they ARE socialists by indoctrination

"Our store shelves have too many different brands of deodorant and sneakers."

Lately, this is something that capitalists seem to hate as well.

If you want a 24 pack of soda great, but if you want a six pack good luck.

If you want 20 different kinds of Oreo or Dorito, then great, but if you want that one brand of cookie they used to stock but got replaced by double-thick, half-chocolate, half-vanilla Oreos then good luck.

Sanders isn’t even close to being the most socialist/liberal member of Congress despite his honesty in admitting to being one.
