Always good advice

Really, Crash, with the construct you've developed there can't be any good news. Its like endtimes philosophy where everything is a sign. I was serious about changing your sources of history, entertainment, politics and sociology. Stop assuming everyone who agrees with you is keenly insightful and everyone who disagrees is destroying the country. Question everything you've written here. Everything.

Start with your remarks relating to the progression of Carter, Reagan, Bush1 and Clinton. Maybe, just maybe, history didn't unfold like you've been told or you interpreted it. Don't take it personally, the whole country has partitioned itself off into "my way or the highway". It was bound to create a national mental depression as Phil Gramm would say.

Until then you're just another whiny extreme conservative who sees their dynasty coming to an end.

On the first page of that site....

""  We have all heard the famous saying in regards to the basics of preparedness; "Beans, Bullets and Bandaids". It stands for the proposition that the initial steps in preparation MUST include food/water, firearms/training and medical supplies/first aid know-how. No one argues about the first layer. It sufficiently covers the basics. It will allow you to remain in your home/retreat fed, protected and cared for. For those of you who are still on the road to a SPS (sufficient preparedness state) what comes next? Level 2!  ""

Black helecopters....?  I wonder if my black Murano instills as much fear? I should get that black Vespa I have been wanting and paint a little UN logo on it, that would really put some fear in them lol. Zipping around midtown with a double late', striking terror into the souls of red blooded Americans. Watching as they hunker down behind barracades with supplies of beans. []

Crash, take heart.

There are issues of concern.  I agree that the parties are out for their power.  I have thus abandoned the parties.

Energy prices are going crazy!  Supply and demand you know.  The good news is that indicates growing prosperity around the world.  China, India and Africa are buying more fuel... they can afford to buy more fuel.  On an energy level, that sucks for us.  BUT, it also means they will be able to consume American products and services.

Global warming, anthrax, SARS, mad cow, killer bees... something to worry about every year.  Calm down.  Take a breath.

Remember, every generation and ever era before this pretty much thought we were at the end of days.  Throughout American history each successive generation talked about how the country has gone to hell and we'll never recover.  We continue to become more immoral, our work ethic declines, but our standard of living continues to rise.

There may indeed be rough times, but it will work itself out in the end.  Or it won't.  In which case position yourself to bennefit from the fall, sit back, and enjoy the show.  Every nation benefits from a little revolution every now and again.

And if it doesn't work out and society collapses, my boss has a lot of guns and ammo.....

I still have a bunch of stuff leftover from the Y2K panic.

Society crumbles. It happens (I think Y1K was caused by the Dark Ages).

I just get all those disasters mixed up. Especially E-coli and El Nino. If I eat a rare burger it rains.

Hey!  Y2K was a very real tragedy.  After January 1st of 2000, none of my old calendars worked.

I had a job at a software company as the Y2K coordinator.

Good news was I performed my job flawlessly and nothing fell apart (I did nothing really, I was just a fall guy in case they needed one).  The bad news was nothing fell apart so that position eliminated itself and they sent me back to sales.  But it starts interesting conversations on my resume.

Guns, guns,and more guns.  Doesn't everyone here have a gun anyway?
