SO half the residents of the greater Boston area are without safe to drink water.

Half.

Of course they could drink it, but then they would have to first be taught how to boil water (I shit you not!).
This is the level of dependence of most liberals folks in the cities. Sad.

How much water do you have on hand? Do you have a method of purifying what you have? What if the electricity/gas had gone out as well? (I don’t worry as much….I have beaucoup water stored in the basement, a Berky filter, a well AND a generator….I got the water part covered.) But this is an example of how simple preps can make you essentially not notice minor hiccups in the supply of things normally supplied by our governmentally furnished infrastructure.

Do you have enough low or no prep food in the house for a week or more? Medicines? water? Critter food for our junior citizens (it would be a shame to have been prepped for yourselves only to find that your pet might eat you while you slept at the end of a week without kibble….)

Seriously. It will not take much to disrupt your normal existence, and you can do a lot to make these simple issues seem….trivial. Or not. You have a spare tire in your car, right? Why? Planning on having a flat tomorrow? Fire extinguisher in your home? Again, why? Homeowners (or renters) insurance? Why?

Why not prepare for a minor disruption such as the one those folks are experiencing in Boston today, so you hardly notice the fact that there is no bottled water to be had in stores, and that your friends and neighbors are fighting over it in the store aisles….

Of course, you can prepare for a lot, with a few dollars and a small bit of time. Seems the folks down Nashville/Louisville way are having to deal with too much water….Again, in an instance like this, a few preps can make a HUGE difference. Especially when you can’t get to the store (if the store has anything) because of 2 ft of water between you and the chow. Can you deal with a 10 day disruption without rescue? Many in this land cannot.

Tam agrees.

BTW, don’t look me up if you spent all your money on toys, and none on preps thinking you can take mine…. The rest of my disposable income is invested in precious metals.

Think that the gated community is gonna keep your family in a safer neighborhood?

THINK AGAIN

Better to live somewhere besides a subdivision.

He’s right.

“Today we see many immigrants coming to America to make a better life. But they come not to add to the rich melting pot that is America, but to suckle at the nation’s lifeblood like a tick on a hound. They come for the opportunity and stay for the benefits. They want to bring Mexico to the US. There is little attempt to learn the language and the culture. Many of the Southern border towns have become to resemble Mexico, and those immigrants left Mexico for a reason.”

No easy solution except close the border.  And enforce the laws we have already on the books.

But that might piss off a large voting block. Politics over patriotism. And the country is the worse for it.

Seems that the AZ legislature has gone and done it….  “The new bill would make it illegal for a school district to teach any courses that promote the overthrow of the U.S. government, promote resentment of a particular race or class of people, are designed primarily for students of a particular ethnic group or “advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals.”

I may just have to investigate AZ as a possibility….

Interesting how the “highest form of patriotism” has changed into this, isn’t it?

Where was he, when the cries of ChimpyMcBushHitler were ringing out in protests 2+years ago?

“But now, now, NOW You peons have the NERVE to protest MY GOVERNMENT?”

Besides, all that name-calling hurts his feelings.  Someone get him a cookie and some hot chocolate.

Go here.

Kinda make ya think, doesn’t it?

Seeing as how there are all those states that are going against the federal government and it’s use of the commerce clause to regulate thing that happen INSIDE a state, and the anti illegal immigrant bills such as the recently passed law in Arizona, one wonders how much relevance the above article might have.

What do we do, if and when?

Seriously.

of the government, and the Obama Administration in particular, one might wonder about the timing of the well fire and explosion and resulting oil spill off the Louisiana coast.

Just as the administration had announced that it was going to allow more offshore drilling, much to the wailing and weeping of the EnviroZombies, this accident happens…..

Fortuitous timing to get him out of the jam he was in between those citizens who need and want less expensive energy and those who are rabidly psychotic environmentalists (who, I might note, still travel in dinosaur burning, toxin spewing, Gaia destroying, automobiles,ships, and airplanes).

Now he has an excuse to put a halt to all new drilling (and even curtail current drilling) all in the name of environmental safety and security. He gets off the hook with the EnviroZombies and has an excuse to give to the rest of us proles.

Hey….If Bush the PuppetChimpMeister could kill 3k+/-  people for an excuse to go to war with Iraq (or so the theory goes) then why is this out of the question???

And it does tie his problem up in a nice neat bow, doesn’t it???

I’m just sayin’
