October 11, 2009 at 10:51 AM #467306SD RealtorParticipantParamount I kind of agree with your analysis that over a longer period of time things will keep deteriorating.
One thing I always think to myself when reading the cataclysmic posts is that I think people revel more in writing about the worst happenings then anything else. Because in my mind the reality of the situation is, if things are that dire and become that bad, we are screwed. Honestly do you think a couple of handguns, a garage full of tp and kraft macaroni and cheese, a portable honda generator and 100 gallons of water will sustain you in our “new society”.
I can see it now, the govt is rounding people up but no they cannot root out old SD Realtor from his Scripps Ranch compound because it is so darn well defended.
I mean honestly come on guys? Now if someone posts that they have bought a plot in Idaho, have the well up and running, have a few thousand gallons of fuel, a couple acres of land, and have moved into an area with many well organized neighbors, have livestock, medical supplies, and are prepared to live alone for a few years, then I think you have a chance. I was talking to my cousin and he married a Mormon woman and he has a pilots license and a plane. He does have half a chance as well.
However I think it is close to laughable thinking that you can stock your garage with supplies and will be able to hold off federal forces, or even roving hordes. How do you cope with things when they shut off water and utilities? Will your generator run nice and quiet so nobody hears it? Seriously…. I guess it is all entertaining and maybe you feel better about yourself when you look over that fully stocked garage. Personally our garage is stocked but it is for earthquake prep. I have a few weapons now but I do not delude myself thinking that Fort Pinot Noir is impenetrable. Nor do I think that things will really suck but only for as long as my supplies hold out, then they will magically be better.
I think life will change and our childrens life will be much worse then ours. Indeed maybe we have the calamity that some of you seem to almost hope for. The problem is if we do you will not even be able to get on line to post how right you were.

October 11, 2009 at 11:38 AM #467311NotCrankyParticipantThis apparent eminent disaster ideology has been a component of a few people I have known over the years. Despite their other great qualities they just have this particular quirk. I am sure all of us that don’t have it can remember seeing it in a friend or two from high school, or even further back(and they could see our quirks too).
What are the most serious real risks to the individual? It seems to me that currently in the U.S., the worst immediate threats to the most individuals is injury from risks that we take voluntarily or semi-voluntarily, random crime, personal illness and/or poverty each possibly largely brought on by personal choices.
Sure ,we also are at risk of industrial disasters, military attack or natural disasters and this is relative to where we live. If you want to minimize those risks, move now.
Speaking of risks, keep those trick-o-treaters as safe as possible.
