And all of those preppers are considered a threat to the District of Criminals. Just ask Nappy at the DHS!

YAWN. Yeah, thanks sport. Been through all this nonsense during the 70's. Same dire prediction, same warnings to prepare, same massive amounts of money invested by the paranoid--excuse me--the "prepared" /rolleyes, same bunker mentality . . . "excitable little fellows" no longer intrigue or interest me.

Ya'll have fun though . . . who knows, one of these myriad of times the fringe might actually turn out to be right . . . even a blind pig finds an acorn every now and then.

We have to prep, invest resources and time because of f’n idiotic leftist politicians and their anticonstitutional laws (For presidents, think heodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, ‘Toon, and lastest incarnation of idiocy - the Usurper). Throw in, also, for good measure, the black-robed tyrants ( think Wickard v Filburn).

Their names must be held in perpetual infamy, their corpses exhumed to be abused and spat upon, to be finally dumped into the ocean. For those anticonstitutionl tyrants still alive, they should be strung up like Mussolini and their families and sychopants hounded out of what remains of this country.

Thanks for posting the link to that important article. I posted it as a thread a couple of years ago, and it still gets hits:

Living in earthquake country, a bit of prep- 3 days to a few weeks - is entirely rational.

And no civilization has survived forever. The Egyptians, Romans, Ming all had going concerns for longer than the US has been around and ‘it’ hit the fan in each case.

That said, the folks who seem eager for such a scenario, along with goldbugs and those who believe in The Rapture, are to me as big an annoyance as any other group out there. If you are *HOPING* for a scenario that involves pain or loss for your fellow human beings (regardless of their religious or political beliefs) they you are part of the problem.

It can become an obsessive hobby and pretty ridiculous, but I read once that the odds of having to fend for yourself due to a disaster of some sort, at some point in your life, are about 40 percent.

She and her husband spend 50 hours a week getting ready for a climate shift in the poles.

That's just foolish - and unnecessary. They'll burn themselves out from overdoing things and negate all that they've accomplished.

You know, it doesn’t have to be a global financial meltdown—keeping extra supplies makes sense for everyone who lives in an earthquake zone, a tornado zone, a hurricane zone, a blizzard zone—in other words, just about everyone. It’s just common sense.

Plus the thing to remember is that not every situation means the end of the earth. There are more things that could happen which would throw the US into a disaster of maybe only a year or two but you can still starve in that time. We are planning for that type of event which is most likely to occur. If you can feed and protect yourself for 2 years you will get through almost any eventuality.
