You'd think that it was 1929 again with all the natterers going on about the sitch 24/7. I've seen *much* worse in my lifetime, and I'm a young 'un relatively speaking (I'm 50). We've had terrible energy shocks in the 70's, stagflation with an economy basically dead in the water in the Ford - Carter years, double - digit virtually Depression - era unemployment in the early 80's... The market goes up, the market goes down. People with NO means made stoopid "decisions" in buying real estate, people live *way* beyond any reasonable means with credit cards, etc. A lot of the current hoo - ha IMNSHO is because there is now an entitlement mentality among many; there are NO guarantees and nobody *ever* said it was gonna be "easy"...now many want not just a bail - out to weather the tougher times, they want a free *hand - out*. Hey, I'd like some free dough for my DVD 'habit' and to help with my bar tab, maybe I should just ask! 95% of mortgage holders are still current, the vast majority of folks are still gainfully employed...and those are the people who will in the long run be paying the way of the deadbeats who were wrongfully given mortgages with bad credit, no money down, no understanding of the terms, etc... And "food to hoard"? Ya gotta be *kidding*, food in the US is cheaper and more available than at *any* time anywheres in history. Otherwise what accounts for the huge amount of obesity in this country, *especially* among the poor...a time traveler from a century ago - or even from 1940 - would be pretty amazed to be set down in a ghetto or barrio or rural trailer park and told that those people are "poor". -- Best Greg |

Which is why the US government subsidizes almost a buck per bushel of corn. Then the stuff rots or is made into something else that we really don't need but the big food giants can get rich on. >Otherwise what >accounts for the huge amount of obesity in this country, *especially* among >the poor...a time traveler from a century ago - or even from 1940 - would be >pretty amazed to be set down in a ghetto or barrio or rural trailer park and >told that those people are "poor". I'm about halfway through reading "BUILDING HOUSES OUT OF CHICKEN LEGS Black Women, Food, and Power." The black ladies in the book would be amazed that people get money for food without doing anything for it. The article that Dog 3 seemed to be leaning in the direction that the people weren't getting enough. If I were to need food stamps I'd be glad for anything I could get rather than bitching I wasn't getting enough. So far this is a great book: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/13/bo....html?emc=eta1 Lou |

Cigarettes OTOH I can do without :) But back to the topic... this qualifies as 'hoarding' I guess- Make a 'root cellar' using an old freezer too store root veggies, apples etc: www.ehow.com/how_5806_make-deep-freeze.html |
