Awesome post SteveA!
Inspiring posts from the rest of you too.
I made it my business to break free from the system two years ago, and ever since ive been floating along happily fully aware of how enjoyable life can be when one isnt forced to be a paid slave.
I guess i could travel now if i really wanted, but something inside tells me not to leave. Ive got all i need right here and im currently stocking up on ciggaretes and alcohol and other various things that a lot would call "essentials" because they will be the currency of the future over here, thats for damn sure.
My brother is well aware of the situation and is preparing just as i am, its cool to have a partner in all of this because most of the people (9/10) arent taking this one bit seriously. Even as the banks are failing, business's are failing and people are becoming more and more agitated there seems to be an attitude of "its all gonna work out" in the end. But, that may well be true. But its gonna get much worse before it gets any better.
I dont try and persuade people about the current events anymore, all its done in the past is lose me friends. But i will be here when everything goes tits up to help those that didnt feel the need to listen when the time was right.
Good look to you all, hold on to your hats.
