Maybe you can&amp;#39;t understand it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you play a game of chess, you move the pieces, you do your best. But in the end, whether you win or lose, you don&amp;#39;t really care, do you? You&amp;#39;re sort of detached from the outcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You mildly prefer winning to losing. But you&amp;#39;re not devastated if you lose, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Preemptive actions based on paranoid fantasies never end, do they? The &amp;quot;preparation&amp;quot; and whatnot that could be done is unlimited. Endless what-if scenarios.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in the end, who can say?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your life is already hell. I can see that clearly. Because you live in fear. It is obvious. Is that a life? You might consider it one. I don&amp;#39;t. You are in a hell of your own making, and you want company in your misery. That is why you and people like you try to instill fear in everyone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do more to undermine this corrupt system than you will ever do, most likely. How? I do NOTHING. I don&amp;#39;t fight it. But I don&amp;#39;t support it either. You probably dutifully pay your taxes. Therefore you support it. Me? I&amp;#39;m a drain on the system. I&amp;#39;m helping to bankrupt it just a little bit faster.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/5365889635504281/comments/default/319699388559919696'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/5365889635504281/comments/default/319699388559919696'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.marketskeptics.com/2009/11/49-mn-americans-food-insecure-usda.html?showComment=1258670555887#c319699388559919696' title=''/><author><name>dashxdr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08121693325605778606</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.marketskeptics.com/2009/11/49-mn-americans-food-insecure-usda.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502356674750161309.post-5365889635504281' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/posts/default/5365889635504281' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502356674750161309.post-8039677398779323447</id><published>2009-11-19T13:32:26.971-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-19T13:32:26.971-08:00</updated><title type='text'>@mr pinnion

My approach is to DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING other than stock up on food, PM&amp;#39;s, guns, ammo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not afraid of anything that comes down. Any suffering, any starvation. Any diseases, any plagues, any dictatorship efforts the government might try. I&amp;#39;m not afraid of NWO, I&amp;#39;m not afraid of going out my front door and getting shot in the head by a sniper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just don&amp;#39;t give a damn. Whatever life tosses at me I&amp;#39;ll deal with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m so, so tired of people living life in a state of constant fear and axiety, and those people trying to spread their fear to me. It won&amp;#39;t work. It&amp;#39;ll never work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are totally free when you really don&amp;#39;t give a damn if you die at any time. Try it some time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as humanity is concerned, my take is &amp;quot;Shit or get off the pot.&amp;quot; Let us make of this earth a heaven or hell, either way. Both are preferable to the limbo we have right now.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/5365889635504281/comments/default/8039677398779323447'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/5365889635504281/comments/default/8039677398779323447'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.marketskeptics.com/2009/11/49-mn-americans-food-insecure-usda.html?showComment=1258666346971#c8039677398779323447' title=''/><author><name>dashxdr</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08121693325605778606</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.marketskeptics.com/2009/11/49-mn-americans-food-insecure-usda.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502356674750161309.post-5365889635504281' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/posts/default/5365889635504281' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502356674750161309.post-5276034441908912766</id><published>2009-11-19T12:07:06.918-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-19T12:07:06.918-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ok so theme so for is this:

The best I can figure is that the author takes it as an unalterable fact that the USA will go on existing, business as usual, forever.
