What Is Your Gut Telling You? - And I Ain't Talking About Diet

I could list dozens of headlines from today, yesterday, the day before that, etc., that paint a pretty bleak picture of our reality today economically and socially.  And I mean BLEAK!  From the horrendous economy, to run-away growth in government power and control, the housing crash, islamic terrorism, nations dying economically like Greece........you get the picture.

My gut is telling me this will not end well.  How about yours?  This is not reveling in doom and gloom theories.  This is looking at all that is going on today and thinking about the possible paths the USA and world will take. 

My gut is telling me a lot of voters will demand the government "do something".  Of course, it is the government that caused all this in the first place.  The rise of liberalism to power in the 1960's began the decline of America.  

My gut is telling me that the world will not choose wisely.  Instead of more freedom and liberty, they will choose command and control.

My gut is telling me there are entities out there that are actively seeking our destruction, and have been for decades.  Again, not conspiracy theories, just human nature.

My gut is telling me that as an average Joe, I am not at the top of any pecking order if things go bad.

My gut is telling me I should get better prepared for anything that might come because nobody else will do it for me.

My gut is telling me this didn't have to happen.

My gut is telling me to never forget what the collectivists have done to the USA.

I do not care about your gut. I welcome the impending apocalypse.

Delta,

LOL! I don't know if you are serious or not, but good comment! Bring it on, huh?

My gut is in a knot... thinking of the debt, demographics, energy and water resources, security issues, etc. And then there is round two of foreclosures on the horizon.

I think you're right that we (the world, the country) won't choose wisely. People for the most part don't want to see these issues coming. Politicians, even most conservatives, also seem oblivious. Populism will be the end of western civilization. Probably.

I for one do NOT welcome the collapse that's likely on the horizon. I have friends and relatives that will die despite prepping (diabetic). Others I care for will/would die in the aftermath, perhaps inclidng myself. I don't want my children to grow up in a new dark age.

Welcoming the collapse is madness. But so is not preparing for it.

SS,

You are right on. I am hoping Delta is joking. (I like gallows humor occasionally.)

Like you, I dread an apocalypse. I am under no illusion on how bad it could be. To be more truthful, I probably can't imagine how bad it will be. Most of my extended family would die. My own family would survive, but for how long? And I am as equally afraid of how governments will respond. I am sure they would attempt massive control meaning the end of freedom.

There is no "good" to come of a collapse.
