    The “system’ to what most people refer to is really many systems or patterns that are intertwined that make most of our daily lives function.

    When credit and financial systems break down and food supplies and gas can’t get bought and sold in cycles so stores close and don’t know when the next shipments will food come in.

    Then if Gov, State, County and City go bankrupt.
    Then they can’t pay county or city workers, then garbage doesn’t get pick up, water systems don’t get maintained, electric system don’t get maintained and those are just the basics.
    So the toilets don’t flush the water doesn’t come out of the sink and the streets get full of biohazard garbage.

    Personally I am hoping this is just a peaceful economic deflation and we can adapt to this and just be poor for a few years.

    But this is a pattern that we have not gone through yet and have nothing to compare it to.

    People of Europe and America mostly think that their “system” is magic and can never fall apart, they are strong systems but they are taking a massive financial beating right now and it is getting worse and will continue to get worse.

    I am hoping the basic systems won’t break but I’m going to prepare for the coming storm.

    I’m not interested in waiting on a street corner to fight for food and water thrown from an army truck that might not show up.

    no one else gives a shit odon.. i felt i spelled out what i said and meant clearly,i did not change horse midstream . you are the one interpreting my words to mean two different things.. thats your problem no one elses.

    the fact is it doesnt matter if 60 people came in and interpreted my words the same as you. it was not my intent.. i stated what i meant,if you dont see it that way or if a hundred people dont see it that way it doesnt change the fact that my views and beliefs on the subject never changed..

    YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!!!!

    plain and simple.

    You are right I imagine, nobody else does give a shit.
    It was a call in the dark.
    A hope amongst hope.
    I imagine nobody will respond.
    The point still remains SOMEBODY ELSE not you or me...

    One minute let me be an 8 year old:


    The point still remains SOMEBODY ELSE not you or me...

    Shuks, now I feel my point has been made.

    Odon this last post of yours is one of the most annoying things I've ever read.
    Keep on denying the truth, little lamb.

    Why is it annoying?
    What truth am I denying?
    Perhaps you could read both our posts.
    That is if you give a shit.

    your denying that you misinterpreted my words.
    of course due to your obvious delusions you will never admit that but its the truth all the same..

    I'm not denying anything.
    I'm asking for a third person to read your and my words and see what they think.
    Simple really.

    I have read hhb's stuff for the last few years, and ALWAYS finds it interesting. HHB and I may not always agreed and every so often used to get on each others nerves years ago. But basically, HHB is 1 brilliant hard-working person & more people should be like HHB & dilli.

    Right now, I'm wondering if he has any Mormons/Latter Day Saints in his family....only because that church has been teaching u to prepare for the worst...stocking up on your own supplies instead of waiting for a gov't hand-out.

    Guess not...personally I am doing fine. I am better off financially right now then I have been in the last few years.
    Course if for whatever reason I woke up tomorrow and found out I was fired....well that would be a whole different story.
