America the Horror Show

- James Howard Kunstler -

I didnt really think so but you do make me wonder sometimes.

I can easily answer your questions about knowing which end of rake is the business end and having what it takes to get myself and my family over the hump and well beyond it. Tools (hand tools, I know a lot of people have no idea what that means) are at hand and skills are there and are being taught to the kids and family. When things do fall apart we'll be able to exist comfortably for a very long time, we have reduced our dependence on electricity and fossil fuels to the point where these are luxury items but not required to live. And gee whiz, we’ll even have some lectrizity to lighten up dem der incandescent bulbs without burning fossil fuels. We're fortunate in that our family has benefited from a work ethic that few these days possess and that the coming decline was visible from waaaaay back so we had time to prepare. Ya, I had to put up with a little abuse from my wife but she now sees the wisdom of being self-sufficient. And we have enough to trade for anything we might need including a nice stash of gold and silver once real money is useful again. Once the reset button is hit precious metals will rule again as they rightly should.

What worries me is that there are so many people out there that still believe the government will take care of them, have they not seen the documentaries showcasing the wonderful Fusion Centers? Have they not read or heard about the gong show that happened after Katrina or even how parts of Washington D.C., the most heavily guarded and FEMA managed city on the planet, was without power for a week after what some parts of the US consider to be an average storm? What does it take to get through to these people? Then there are people like Jim C who in one comment tells us that he's prepared for the worst but still defends technology and all the ill's it's brought us in other comments. It seems like he can't figure out which side of the fence he should be on. Is he secretly being paid by a shadowy government department to smooth over the mess they have gotten the world into? Anyone I know that is making or has made preparations to keep eating and keep warm when Walmart shuts down do their best to ensure others are enlightened about what’s really going on in the world. Obviously this is not the case with Jim. He’s more like an Obama lapdog looking for another handout.

So, no I won’t be a zombie but I do thank you for caring. I do have to wonder though if Jims relatives, friends, dog, or whatever will be able to put up with his wishywashyness for very long before they put him out on an ice flow once they are in closed quarters with him. =)

Beginning of the headline :Finally the USA has an act that perfectly expresses its true spirit as the horror show nation among nations: the random mass slaughter of little children by a maniac. Is it not so that the failure to protect little children from harm is the most shameful weakness an adult human can present? Next, of course,comes the empty ritual of pretending that we must make sure something like this never happens again... Read More
