It doesn^t matter whats Your job or teaching. You have a human to be with proper look at things, various thing. Even when You don^t own answer, it is only to feel topic. Mostly, all things in Nature go the same path. It is all about us built on the same scheme and rules. So when You are open minded it is easy to see things as they really are. For pilots and drivers it is also called reflex.;-)

We are all in this life together so no matter what happens next we need to support each other.That could be food,shelter,heat.Here in the St.Louis area where I am now 43,000 people were without electricity for a while because about 5 tornados went through the area.If you are without electricity you most likely are without heat too.So have some oil lamps on hand and some candles too.triffid

In ideal times when there's jobs to do and money extra to spend, I agree, yes.  This a bad recession, however, and thing will *head South* when gasoline/petrol reaches $4.00+/gal. in America.  Jobs will be lost in greater numbers.  It's that political insurrection in North Africa appears to be growing into a Libyan pitched-battle civil war.  The outcome---worst case scenario---has been compared to Mogadishu or the Second Sudanese Civil War:

My point is:  People in other parts of the world and Wisconsin, first; spreading to other states, are getting tired of the "business as usual" political way of doing things. 

Reply #887, this thread:

as an aside... just when is this "disaster" coming? it's been over a year now that you have been saying this.

I replied that Egypt was become a problem area and that that was a serious matter for the region.  Well, it's becoming bigger than that.  Military and political instability in the whole region has political pundits in Washington, DC, scared.  All their well-laid plans can become unraveled quickly, if thing really! get out of hand.

People in WI are pissed that their political survival is at stake.  Money, too.  If someone takes your money legally, you may or may not? think you can live without it?  People without money can quickly turn into angry mobs.  Here's how it can happen by this economist's research:

Yes I agree bad times are a coming.I will be planting some seeds tomorrow on my land .And have planted things on land that was not mine.I like the idea of secret gardens and think I can extend the idea to secret mining of gold in the gold bearing states like alabama,indiana,michigan,and etc.I went thru a gold panning phase in my younger days and  know that gold is in the ground.Its all up and down the arkansas river.Which runs thru several states.I can see a time when people are panning gold to feed themselves.triffid
