To hell with the politics. Is anyone seriously preparing for the oncoming depression? My family started a food pantry one year ago and have about 4 months worth of food. We have bought organic seed in order to plant a garden this spring. Our debt is down to only a mortgage, and we pay cash for everything. My job will probably dry up in the next few months so I am taking all the necessary provisions to have housing if I get foreclosed on. Our house has an abundance of guns and ammo now. I am always looking for ways on how to use discarded materials for projects of use. Buy tools not toys, you can build the toys if you have tools. Seek out family that has land and is without debt this will be good for many things, and you won't have banks beating down your back. Be on good terms with your family, there may be a time when you all live under the same roof.

sorry for the rambling, I just want something else to talk about.

We need to draw a line in the sand now in which we will not allow to be crossed. And then after identifying your limits design follow up actions regarding the potential trespass.
