Soon, prices will skyrocet, and you will sell again! (DONT)

I fear our DOLLAR WILL FAIL in the next two months.(NOW)



I've lost faith in our GOV.

Were going to have QE3, crazy INFLATION, and another wave of FORECLOSURES

ITS TOAST> HOUSE OF CARDS COMING DOWN>

OPTIONS? Deal in real money ie gold silver and other precious metals.

ITS ALL CHINA WILL ACCEPT TO PAY OUR DEBT CAUSE OUR DOLLAR IS WORTH SH*T AFTER THE THIRD ROUND OF PRINTING OUT OF THIN AIR!

HENCE, THE GOV WILL DEMAND ALL YOUR GOLD AND SILVER!

AHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

AT LEAST WERE ALL IN THE COMMODITIES MARKET AND CAN COME BY THESE METALS EASIER. USE THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE AND SURVIVE THE UPCOMING CRASH!

This seems to have once again turned into a survivalist conversation with a number of really smart tough guys thinking they have it all figured out as to who is going to survive.
I may have read too many books or seen too many movies on apocalyptic scenarios but the bottom line is that we scrappers don't control squat at any level in the grand scheme of things.
Life breaks down to some very simple facts.
#1 We need to breath, you can last just a few minutes without oxygen.
#2 We need water, you can live for a few days without H20.
#3 We need food, you can live a few weeks give or take without food.
So whether it is natural or political/economic catastrophe that occurs no amount of wealth or armament stored is going to save an individual for very long.
It has been proven throughout history that there is no defense large or small that can't be breached.
You can have all the gold,silver, guns and ammo and food etc etc that you have room for, but if you live in a standard structure and there are people who want what you have eventually you will lose it.
As far as speculation long term and high volume goes I think it's a waste of time and money when time is far more precious than anything , I am not religious nor am I very actively political.(I have voted every election since I was of legal age, for what it's worth)
I am more philosophical than is necessary most of the time.
My lifestyle is not like most of yours other than scrapping being part of my living and my "hoarding" so to speak is for the most part no different than anyone here.
My conclusion is that the best things I get out of life is doing anything I can to help someone who truly needs it more than me.
That and creating useful things out of junk that will be my greatest legacy..........
