a little light reading for the weekend

i am up to my eyeballs in boxes and packing and moving stuff- but i still have internet and my morning cuppa i like to read through my google reader when i get the chance- i have been mostly skipping newsy blogs because i don’t have time to read the same crap different day. one blog i always read is survival acres blog. many folks don’t really fully know how bad things are in the world- and wouldn’t want to believe it even if they did. the admin over there seems to have the finger on the pulse of the scientific community and other industries- and his writings often confirm my own independent research. now, it isn’t a nice fuzzy place to visit- it is stark truth with no candy coating. i believe that people have doomed ourselves- knowingly or not. an accident still has consequences- although the event itself was not planned.

my own view of the world mirrors much of what admin speaks about and he recently posted a post that said- prepare for the future but for heaven’s sake- live your life too! i intend to store food and grow my own- but i want to enjoy what i can as well. we all still only have one life to live and this is our only shot. we inherited a raw deal- but we can still make the most of what we have and live to the fullest. so- please take a moment to read this latest post- it’s a bit long but it explains his position- which is very close to my own with much more detail. survival acres blog

America will launch more wars, as will other nations like China and Russia as the world plunges into deeper and deeper resource shortages. They will do this because they believe they have no other choice for their survival. This will create a world of global conflict, which is what we already have today.
