I couldnt help it---
Jim Rogers, being interviewed on Bloomberg, just said that he is selling all of his dollars and getting into something where the fundamentals are good, like commodities and Taiwanese and Chinese companies whose fundamentals are good. He said the dollar is going the way of the pound sterling when that stopped being the world's reserve currency and dropped 90%. "When will it recover?" he was asked. "I hate to say this. Probably never." He allowed as how the people in Washington have wrecked it permanently.
We are us , arent we?

Pentagon resources and U.S. troops may be used if needed to quell protests and bank runs during an economic crisis, the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Institute reported.
"Widespread civil violence inside the United States would force the defense establishment to reorient priorities in extremis to defend basic domestic order and human security," the War College study states.
Incidents of economic collapse, terrorism and disruption of legal order could require deployment of forces within the U.S., it said.
A "strategic shock" could require the nation to use "military force against hostile groups inside the United States."
International Monetary Fund Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn has warned that advanced nations could face civil unrest during distressful economic times

Enjoy while it lasts Brother cause were on our way to Critical Mass like a runaway freighttrain. Ever think of hedging?
Still cant determine Alakshaks extent of carnage compared to proper lower 48.
One thing Im happy about is the barge fuel costs to the villages and towns will be $4.00 a gallon or less this summer. Opens lots of doors tho temporary.
Hey! Happy New Year and celebrate well, round 2 of ' Fall of the Roman, I mean US Empire' as we speak. Aint no coming out of this one folks.

Ive only been in love twice and if you include prime Alaska bush I was overwhelmed fullfilled , make it three.
Us humans are complex creations that have morphed into simple creatures and odd entities by TV , materialism, propaganda , belief systems run askew.
You take care and watch your top-knot .
In 100 hundred years will it matter that I burned dinner one night?

It had always been my dream when I was younger. Now I'm just a little (ok, parts of me are screaming way) too old to be thinking I could feasibly do it alone. But my goal is to work my way into living as simply and peacefully as I can tolerate. I find that electricity and running water are not a luxury as I get older. And having to work full time make it pretty much impossible to be self sufficient, let alone live far from so-called civilization. I always said I was born in the wrong era
And watch yourn

What do you do for work and how old are you if you dont mind me asking?
