Hey everyone, I'm really glad I found this forum. I think we really need a network of like-minded individuals for mutual support, advice, and ideas exchange.

I truly believe there is very real potential for the complete breakdown of American society/economy in my lifetime...possibly in the next couple years. At any rate, you don't put your seatbelt on while braking to avoid a collision, you put your seatbelt on as soon as you get in the car! When I get in my car, I'm not EXPECTING to get in a wreck, but I still wear my seatbelt... preparedness is like that
