If Katrina has shown us nothing else, it's the dangers of allowing yourself to become a dependent vassal of The State. I've never been inclined to that myself, but I was appalled at the great unwashed hordes standing around, waiting for the gubmint to save their fat, welfare asses. Afterwards, everyone's pointing fingers of blame at different tentacles of government for failing to be all things to all people all the time. Land of the free and home of the brave? HA! We need to change that last line in the national anthem to be, "land of the freeloaders and home of the depraved." Pathetic how dependent the sheeple have become on Big Gubmint. The ultimate irony is that these are the same people who bitch and moan about Big Corporations, oblivious to the fact that it is a symbiote with Big Government; Big Gubmint and Big Bidness serve each other's needs and they both suck life and liberty from the sheeple.
Anyway, we live in interesting times, as Chairman Mao used to say. And the economic and social conditions in this country are a mess, it's unsustainable. Without warning, the music will stop and this house of cards will come crashing down. When that happens, it'll be the beginnings of a new era of liberty, but not without some horrific birth pangs.
History shows that power never peaceably devolves from the government to the governed, it is always violent, bloody, and ugly. Likewise, in the case of America, the only way to reform the pork-barrel, collectivist system is for it to break, to collapse under its own weight like the dying, diseased beast it is.
The resulting financial collapse will precipitate a societal collapse. Some parts of the country will try to establish martial law but that, too, will fail as the National Guardsmen and state troopers decide they'd rather be at home protecting their homes and families from the rampant, roving criminal gangs instead of protecting the property of people they don't even know. Thanks to the near complete unravelling of the moral fiber of the nation, violent crime will be a way of life for a while until communities are able to re-group and establish safe zones.
And so it is with great glee and merriment that I present to you Get Ready! These forums are for anyone and everyone who knows the feces are about to fly and would like to connect with other people online to help each other to, well, get ready! So, come on in and add some of your own pearls of wisdom.Last edited on Sat Dec 10th, 2005 01:24 by Samurai Appliance Repair Man

Whhoowwweee!! Dem's tuff words. You paint a pretty bleak future.
I don't agree with the picture you paint of the future, however I do believe that prudence dictates taking some steps to prepare for calamaty.
I believe that most people in New Orleans took steps in some way to prepare for Katrina. Most packed up and left,,some just thought staying indoors would be OK and you are right..too many waited for someone else to help them.
I have always looked after my family, something my father also did before me. Something my son's will do, if able.
My thinking has always been,,IT'S NOT IF IT HAPPENS..IT'S WHEN IT HAPPENS!!, and I believe I'll be with those who are prepared.

Hi, Ed, welcome to Get Ready! And Merry Christmas!
I'm no prophet or seer of visions, I'm just one of the awake sheeple with my head up, sniffing around and smelling the rotten fish in Denmark. We may disagree on how bad the meltdown will be but that's ok; I think we both agree that basic preparedness is the responsibility of each and every individual, and is not something that we should depend on government or anyone else for.

There are plenty of other sites that address this situation, one thing no one agrees on is the severity. Our goverment generally underestimates everything. 72 hours is nothing, I believe it will be at least ten times that. I'm not a conspiracy theroist or a tin foil hat wearer just some guy who wants to protect his family. Thanks for the forum, I will read up, one of my favorite sites that has a lot of different forums including survival. It's AR15.com.
Thanks, C.M.
