I agree with what you said on personal responsibility, and looking out for yourself by taking control of your own future and not relying on government or anyone else. However, I disagree that voting is a solution. Voting has gotten us to the point we are now for the past 100 years. People always end up buying the media lies and jump on the "lesser of two evils" bandwagon. Then, we end up with a government that's even more evil than the last! This is an endless cycle that will certainly end up in a disaster- possibly a true dictatorship (as opposed to the quasi-dictatorship we have now), and definitely in a financial meltdown. We have to take it upon ourselves to not obey unjust and immoral laws (like the income tax). Civil disobedience will save us from what the government is unleashing upon us. We need to reject government at every turn. Government, after all, is simply force at the barrel of a gun- instead of a necessary evil, we need to realize that it is an evil that needs to not be given any credibility whatsoever. Clearly, this is going to take time. In the mean time, getting out of U.S. dollars and into gold and silver is a step to protecting yourself and getting "out of the matrix". Of course, we can't pay for things in gold and silver, so you have to keep just enough in dollars for that and sign up for a service like goldmoney.com to not only hold gold offshore, but to be able to buy items in "gold grams" via online transactions. Anyway, this is my 2 cents. Check out the report at shadowstats.com on the coming hyperinflationary depression if you really want a shot of reality!

I am very pessimistic and realistic about where this country is headed. Between our government spending and immigration lack of control I feel like we are just going to keep digging the hole deeper. All you can do is try to take care of your business best you can. I also think if this country keeps going the way it's headed, this will not be the best place to live before too long.

Yeah our county has its problems, but it's better than anywhre else. Like the post, but let’s be optimistic about the future. Yeah our county has its problems, but it’s better than anywhre else.
