So I Did some Last Minute Shopping...

[shezmu]

Okay, so I spent a good couple of hours this week listening to how the fed is doing anything and everything they could possibly do to hide the price fixing on gold/silver to rather quickly diminishing levels of avail. I then hear about how the fed has recently pumped out over a trillion and thought to myself, "just once I wish these bastards would take their fed hats off and do this shit and then see what happens". I soon after realized that I need to make it NH for the liberty forum and then use that as my excuse to escape the oncoming zombie apocalypse to save my life. ( )

Then came xmas eve, when I had to do the annual procrastination gift shopping run. I then walked into a near by indoor mall and to my surprise the place was covered head to toe with people ever anxious to buy yet another big screen tv with a cup of latte, and some even to get their eyelashes flushed (oh come on!). Lines wrapped around stores and myself in ways that I'd rather leave unsaid. Interestingly enough, a Vitamin store and a jewelry store were the only stores of note not effected by the rampaging mops. A safe-zone for the sane, depending on your perspective. I then thought two thoughts to myself. One was that, "these people really don't know just how bad it's going to get, do they?" and the other, "procrastination is a bitch when everyone else does it".

We're in the eye of the storm, aren't we? I haven't gotten around to reading though Atlas Shrugged yet, but I think we're just about at the point where the productive start to follow John Gulch *cough*Jason Sorens*cough* to *cough*NH*cough*.

I know exactly what you're talking about.  I read Atlas Shrugged back in 1996 and in a lot of ways it really illustrates what is going on today.  Though it seems to miss the mark in other ways - but what do you expect from fiction?

I feel like the house of cards is about to collapse any year now though it could just be a long slow bleeding of the economy to the point we don't really know when the bread lines appeared.  Either way, I'll feel safer once I've made it to New Hampshire.
