Okay, while I don't generally vent, rant or otherwise say much about my perceptions on the current state of our country all that much, it doesn't mean I don't think about it

Very true. And I actually don't use that much fuel.

Whoohoo! Flailing is my favorite thing!

j/k.

No, really.

LOL!

Of course. You're more than welcome to listen to me being all freaky about things. I know it's kind of... odd.

It's not flail and obsess, it's just being realistic and... um... well... Hey I'm right here doing the flail and obsess right along with ya, :) This day and age can be downright scary sometimes.

It really is. And I'm pretty much on my own, so I need to have some sort of plans in place.

solidarity, sister! i'm with you.

[shutthef_up]

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah, I think I'm going to be utilizing my scavenging and make-do talents. Which is kind of fun sometimes.

As much as I try to keep in mind that almost every generation has its "OMG! Life as we know it is over!!!" moments, I can't help but think it might be best for me to be ready.

In some ways, I think Americans as a whole are pretty complacent and reliant on abundance. Which... I don't think there will be much change in what we see available at the local grocery, but the question will be, 'Can I afford that?'.
