No but if that were all the food I had in a time of scarcity, I'd be very happy to have it.

It wouldn't surprise me if there are people selling on ebay their foodstocks that may have only a couple of years of shelf life left and they take the money and buy fresh.

What is wrong with a trailer park? I thought the left was for the poor?

Pestilence
Pestilence, one of the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse symbolizing plague (contagious disease) in some interpretations of the book of Revelation
But, God has planned it all for you. Blame Him for putting you through the plan.

I consider myself an independent and I lean right on most issues - I lean left on other issues - but I don't think in political terms. I formed my opinions without political overtones and later realized that politically I am more conservative then liberal. Thus I registered with the GOP so I would have a voice.

People hear my opinions and always try to put me in the far right box - which is understandable because some of my opinions may fit there. Then they find out I oppose the death penalty and support the legalisation of drugs, and they get confused.

I don't consider those liberal opinions - they are a product of my sense of morality - perhaps the political view is libertarian.

Anyways - one can be an independent and lean to one side of the spectrum or the other.

I'm amazed that people with these bizarre 'government takeover' fantasies can even function in society on a day-to-day basis ...

...

And, yes, "fantasies" is precisely the right term. These posts, with all their "I hope it never comes to this!" posturing, might as well sign off with ...

WOLVERINES!!!

No, that is now how it works.. God does know from beginning to end and it is up to us to take on our responsibilities for ourselves.

We have been given a brain for that purpose.

So, you're saying that God doesn't plan and execute everything. Funny, I hear the opposite in religion forum. But if that is your take...

Why don't you believe that God will help you?

Never say never.. it is a big downfall with many people.

It could happen in many situations.. the world bank take over. financial collapse. Default by our government.. the dollar no longer accepted by Chinese.Government debt so high the welfare checks don't go out. Just a few ... food prices sky rocket, gas prices skyrocket tax burdens escalate. Scarcity of food.

I wouldn't call that fantasies.. we have bernanke saying we are still in bad shape and in crisis and no remedy they can find.
