True indeed. But unless you are eating macrobiotic Stuff...you are more than likely consuming MORE than that per year. In fact.....it looks like the average American scarfs down 100 POUNDs of sugar per year http://articles.businessinsider.com/...apita-american Yeah, I think it's required by their church that all LDS families stock a year's worth of food. Smart thinking, especially nowadays, wot? Many do..many only stock 6 months. While there are Mormons....they do not ALL adhere to every bit of commands from the Temple. Like Catholics in many ways. On to check the other links you put up. Danke, BTW. Jervelcomen. Gunner -- You just opened the window for a glimpse at the liberal mindset. You people think, for some unknown reason, that since you are infinitely more "intelligient" than the "average" citizen then it's not only your God given right, but a responsibilty to tell everyone else how they should live, spend their money, what to eat, what to drive, how much to eat and drink and what to set your thermostat to. Of course, those same rules don't apply to you because you, being a highly educated individual with a degree in the "arts", don't have to abide by those same rules. Thank GOD you are in the minority.

Shrug...years ago it may have sounded like a crazy idea to SOME people....but there is a significant portion of our population that has had to live like us crazy old survivalists as part of their daily lives. Fires, floods, earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes have all been part and parcel of many of our lives. Depends on where you live. The US while a wonderful place...has some of the nastiest natural events on the planet, past present and future. I lost my house on May 2nd, 1983 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Coalinga_earthquake https://www.google.com/search?q=coal...thquake+photos **** happens everyday somewhere. If it doesnt happen to you...it will...sooner or later. Sometimes its minor..sometimes its major...sometimes its catastrophic. Luck of the draw. All you can do is prepare the best you can, and roll with it. And many folks forget..that if they dont survive..what about their family members. Being the best, smartest and most brilliant survivalist is a very good thing..but if you are killed...can your family survive? I see many people saying..."I do the best my wife lets me do" Yet if he is killed by say..a falling TV..chuckle...will the family be able to do anything besides huddle and die as well? So teach the wife and the kids!!!! It may not be fun for them..but try to make it fun. Its a very good skill to pass along..you may not be there in the future. Now..the chances of universally bad **** coming..is indeed getting greater. But..its always been hanging over all of our heads.

I'd have to guess that Gunner predicdts the great
cull happens after the election. One should stock pile ammunition. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Cross-Slide" wrote in message ... Do you predict it to be before, and thus to prevent, or after and thus to nullify the elections? What is the best list of items to hoard? |

I'm a long time rider and I've never seen a word from Wieber that would convince me he has any motorcycle experience at all. It's quite possible that his entire history with motorcycles is yapping about his "leathers" and hoarding some old junk he got for peanuts, which will continue to rot in his yard. Until he's evicted, at which point the junk will go to the scrapper with everything else. He recently BSed that he'd ridden as recently as 2009, but as expected, couldn't produce any registration, something that would only take a few minutes to prove his story if it were true. |
