What you said about...<b>Chi-Chi</b>, I feel it coming too. What you said about the attitude of the Wal-Mart stampeders reminded me of a post I wrote last November, <a href="http://keepittrill.blogspot.com/2008/11/one-nation-under-greed.html" rel="nofollow">One Nation Under Greed</a>, and how my own daughter's reaction to the stampede was thinking it was funny. *shakes head* That's a wild-azz post, BTW.<br /><br />You spoke of preparation for a SHTF scenario here. I highly recommend anyone reading the blog by <a href="http://wildflowersbloom.com/" rel="nofollow">Wildflower</a>, at wildflowersbloom.com. She's a survivalist-minded sistah, and her current and back articles have much to teach.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-17799214158785953132009-10-25T07:57:25.868-04:002009-10-25T07:57:25.868-04:00KIT, that last paragraph really sent chills up my ...KIT, that last paragraph really sent chills up my spine. I was thinking just the other day about Rwanda and how normal people can change so drastically because of economic pressures and the media. It's almost too easy for any country to turn into a killing field if the conditions are right. We often like to think these things can only happen "over there" but I remember that brother that was trampled to death last year by folks trying to get into Walmart for a deal. If a deal will make you disregard one life, I shudder to imagine what a real crisis combined with far-right rhetoric will do. Makes me all the more determined to get centered so that I can handle whatever is coming. And it's coming.The Original Wombmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635150040219983526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-81984426844792846352009-10-21T00:41:59.881-04:002009-10-21T00:41:59.881-04:00TriState, Thanks for your input and sharing what y...<b>TriState</b>, Thanks for your input and sharing what you've experienced thru family and marriage. Just when so many of us thought things would get better due to Obama's election, fixed news is agitating to make it worse. Will good will triumph evil?

But I can imagine if I were another race there would be plenty to hold my head in shame for.<br /><br />Living in "appalachia" I have met my fair share of "good 'ol boys." But I also see the next generation heading in a much more positive an open minded society and one can only hope that trend will continue.<br /><br />Prejudice will always be with the human race. It is a judgement and we are a judgemental people. I don't care if it's about color or the skanky dude who doesn't brush his teeth and wears dirty sneakers. I am guilty of some form of prejudice. I am however, by far not racist. At least that is what I hope to convey to others with my actions. <br /><br />My parents were not "thrilled" in my choice of husbands but their beliefs were not my own and I believe we are seeing more and more of this same example everyday. <br /><br />Hatred is a total waste of my time. Life is too short to be constantly irritated and pissed off.<br /> <br />Love the post!<br /><br />~C~TriState Saverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14930051764942004985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-72622222497990356742009-10-19T11:36:06.696-04:002009-10-19T11:36:06.696-04:00Glad you caught that, Macon.

I've been toying with the idea of doing yet another post on this topic (except for the dubious gator story, read them under Kit's Worse Case Scenario articles), but hell, things are too far gone. <br /><br />When the trustworthy journalist, Robert Fisk, writes about it, I take it as a signal we are, as I said, teetering at the edge. Here's the link again to his <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/the-demise-of-the-dollar-1798175.html" rel="nofollow">article</a>, and be sure to read his last paragraph.Kit (Keep It Trill)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03027769872237001801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-27233708452964557112009-10-19T10:09:04.374-04:002009-10-19T10:09:04.374-04:00Good food for thought, thank you Kit.

Desperate people and countries do desperate things, and the US is unnervingly close to losing US dollar hegemony over oil and other goods on the world market.</i>macon dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07795547197817128339noreply@blogger.com
