Hey dumb Americans, are you going to wake up?

Can someone please tell me why we are rioting in the streets
over this? forget everything else we can be bitching
about...This is our future, the future of our country.

At this rate, America will parish soon.

1. It's sad that it's going to have to get much worse to get any better.
I don't think we have hit rock bottom yet. I think we will have to.

2. I have a plan
I am moving to the country, working to get off the energy grid with as much alternative energy as possible, stock up on canned food, hunt, fish and wait for America to fall.

3. We've been discussing building a commune..
At first it was interesting mental exercise, worst case senario kinda thought.

Now, it's pretty much the plan. :scared:

5. Been there, done that
Spent the early 70's living in a remote area without electricity or running water. Learned a alot about what it takes to survive and how to be prepared for emergencies. I highly recommend the experience to all. Bringing that awareness and knowledge back to urban environments is also valuable.
