I kept hearing about this on the radio today - "bare stern" gets funds...

English! Open to misunderstanding at any time!

yup.
world wide recesionary conditions and proabably a depression on the horizon. Aren't you glad ur and isher and know, (or at least know people who know) how to make and grow a wack of their food?

Im advocating planting anything you can anywhere you can and as much of it as you can afford. gurilla garden, what ever where ever you can. Seed bombs are great (clay and fertiliser + multi seed types, not in any way explosive!)

Get good tools and good knowledge, be it first hand or good books on intensive permacultureish style gardening now while you can.
You might loose your house but they cant (easily) stop you picking the food around the place, and may not even thing to bother if they are not well known plants - think tetragonia (nz spinich), chokos, chillian cranberries and such.

When it comes down to it, if you got food in your belly, access to water, and somewhere warm to park ur butt at night (cardboard box or otherwise ) you got a chance to hold it together "till things get better"

Im exagerating for effect, and to feed my own personal little could of doom! But yeah, we in for tough times.

Agreed! That is partly why I joined this forum.. apart from the fact that I find pretty much everything related to this forum very interesting. Living in Canada right by the U.S border I can see what is happening first hand, and it doesn't look good at all.

The North American Union doesn't seem so far fetched either which really worries me. Here is a 4 minute CNN video from youtube if you are in the dark on this matter:

WWIII will not be a war of nations.. rather a war of the people vs. their governments!
