Hi EpiphaMe,

I welcome your post, but am afraid I may have missed the point. Your initial tone was a bit off-putting. The folks here obviously have done their homework, have something to contribute, and want to share. I get the sense from your starting comments that that bothers you in some fashion. Why?

The system is crashing - we're seeing new nails be driven into the coffin now on a daily basis. Capitalism seems to be failing us - thus the point of the thread. Can it be reformed, are there other ways, etc.? We know it has turned to **** - I want this thread to contemplate alternatives for our future.

I don't know what to tell you about your neighbors. I live next to a guy who is a complete jerk. Guy looks like a Frankenstein whos been slapped with ugly (thanks Violent J), and thinks his worth can be measured by the numbers on his paycheck stub. I won't be having any conversations with him in the near future on how to prepare for the SHTF, but when it does, chances are we will be collaborating for survival. Ain't that really the point?
