I’m not afraid of losing a 401k...I don’t have one.
I’m not afraid of losing money-market funds...I don’t have them.
I’m not afraid of losing money in the stock moarket...I don’t own stock.
I’m not even afraid of eating rice and beans three times a week...it’s healthy, good tasting food if you know how to do it right. (And, that’s to a degree in Culinary Arts, I do!)

What I AM afraid of is not having any food AT ALL, because I lose my JOB that I was using to pay my bills. I am afraid of losing my place to live because I lose my job. I am afraid of living out of a cardboard box underneath a bridge abument with a wife and 4 kids, starving to death.

And, the way everyone is talking, I’m beginning to think THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!

Color me scared to death.

Believe me, I share all of your fears.

I believe there will be some kind of deal, but it won't be as bad as it is now. I have faith in McCain the the Rep. House and I know they don't want to see American people suffer like that as well.

I think there will be some kind of plan by Monday morning that will make Wall Street more accountable than it is now. Until then we need to hang tight and not panic. Panic is what is escalating this already. Tomorrow should be hell

Even if things really do get that bad (and I don't think they will), I've got chickens and a garden and there's a lot more people like me than you think. If you're a decent human being and have the right attitude, we won't let you starve. Making rice and beans taste good would make you a welcome guest at our house. I'll bet you are a lot more capable than you give yourself credit for. We'll get through it. Our grandparents did.

That is exactly what were talking about.

Pray for salvation and guidance.

Prepare for the End of the world as we know it.

Then pray some more.
