Atlas Shrugged? 

# posted by Brancibeer @ 10/06/2008 01:29:00 PM

Does anyone find it amusing that this whole financial meltdown across the country and world is the opposite of what was outlined in this book? Way to go capitalism.

I realize this is a broad and naive statement.

Naive broads you say? Sounds interesting. I'll be there with bells on...

But seriously. This meltdown is way overblown by both the media and the politicians. Once again they are working together to put more power into fewer and more corrupt hands. Thanks America for flushing my child's future down the toilet again.

On a side note, that was literal. Sometime in June is D-Day.

Dont get to excited, theres a long way to go between point A and point B.

what got me was that the party known for personal responsibility is the front runner for a bail out. plus, anyone manage to guess why certain banks are bailed out and others left to crumble? gee, what type of determination can they make overnight, my guess is not an informed one but a buddy buddy system.

i've never really used bosch before buti can speak kindly of Milwaukee and Dewalt, we should all invest in seeds for growing food as well, and books, buy medical and education books so that we don't lose all of societies info when the armagedon hits.

1) Ammo
2) Salt (think about it, where are you going to get salt?
3) Tarps
4) Ammo (you can never ever ever have too much ammo)
5) Basic Medicines (tylonal, ect, this stuff can last for years too)
6) Book of edible plants, illustrated (in my experience, try the things in the book you'd be surpised. I've discovered much of the flora in my lawn alone is edible and tasty)
7) Diesal Fuel (this is liquid gold in the apocolypse)
8) Religous Accoutrements, various - Lets face it, a mid-term threat in any apocolypse is religous extremism (people are going to think "act of god" at some point, regardless of how it goes down). All I am saying is when the angry mob is looking for non-believers, a well placed bible, multi-armed Ganesh or Mein Kampfe could save your life.
9) Pornography (this is liquid gold in the apocolypse)
10) Rope (please refer to entry on salt and entry on angry mob)
