Run for the hills?
As I talked about yesterday there are many issues facing us in the short run. Not the least of these issues we face is the current economic situation that may continue to get worse. Many people and not just crazy people are talking about storing up or buying up survival items, gear and food. This may or may not be necessary for the short run, but it is probably a good idea for the long run. Regardless of how or when we recover from the current economic downturn times will be tough again and next time it may be for any number of reasons other than just the mortgage crisis or may even have little to do with pure economics but could be based on something like a terrorist attack or even worse. When I say worse, yes there can be worse things than a terrorist attack. One thing that can be worse than a terrorist attack is giving up certain parts of our liberty and sovereignty to protect us against terrorists. Though I’m in favor of doing what it takes to stop terrorists we should not give up our freedom to protect it.
We don’t know what tomorrow holds and we should not store up stuff that will be wasted but it might be a good idea to have a plan and to be prepared for at least a few days worth of an emergency.

Just wondering then what were your thoughts on the patriot act, and, have those changed with recent allegations of the government recording and transcribing troops phone calls when they called home from Iraq?
Oh and I’ll say too, the idea of giving up freedom and liberty to defend freedom and liberty doesn’t make sense on a fundemental level.
