Actually, I was thinking about making a thread concerning this.
Maybe we can actually put the whole Obama/McCain circus aside for a short while and have a more or less reasonable discussion or at least share some observations.
Clearly, we're all worried to a certain extent about the economy, for whatever reasons. I'd like to know though how deep these fears run. Do you really consider going to the store and getting a couple cans of food? Or a gun and ammo, if you don't own one yet? Do you not bother with any kind of 'emergency' supplies at all?
Maybe some people could share their thoughts.
In my case, I haven't really thought about emergency food/supplies for a while now. I think of myself as a fairly rational person. I must confess though that it has crossed my mind lately to budget in a couple of things which will keep. Food, candles, matches, some water. Sometimes, I think to myself that I'm going nuts and things will be allright. Then I find myself thinking that I don't really do enough at all. It's a very strange emotional rollercoaster ride, so to say.
Does anybody else experience similiar train of thoughts?

Yes, very much so and I already have. Tuned up my firearms too, not that I EVER hope it comes to this! But when I read reports that our federal government is preparing for nationwide riots and a total failure of our economy, I figure I best prepare too. Chit is about to hit the fan, no way around it folks. Sad but true!

I think that's obsessing. we're nowhere near 1929, thank FDR for that. However, no real solution can ever be acheived without a full and real investigation by an untainted SEC. Good luck with that though. Jefferson or jackson would get the job done, but as we stand now, we can't even get a true investigation of 9/11 or get the FDC to really research the medicines we ingest. Did you ever hear about rgbh?

Well you should keep a stock of food anyway for emergencies like snowstorms, hurricanes, etc.

I'm thinking that Jefferson or Jackson would gut this bloated empire right now and restore true power to the citizens. But with our educational system having been sabotaged, odds are we aren't going to find a modern equivalent for a while.
well it is Idaho so it doesn't surprise me. The only time I stock up is during hurricane season here in Florida. Guess what people America is not going to melt no matter the economy or who gets elected. The paranoia from the right is beyond absurd.
Food and ER supplies flying off the shelves here in Idaho
Think it's got anything to do with the fact that the snow season is right around the corner? How much stocking up did people do around 1/1/2000 in the area? Maybe it's something that people in the area tend to do.
