  I can see it now.  It will be hows the weather down in Raytheon son.  Not bad Dad but I heard there was an earthquake out in Lockheed.  Well your sister is getting transferred from Verizon to McDonalds in a prisoner swap.  Seems like change of duty gets more bang out of a worker for the buck invested keeping it alive.  Well your mother says hello I think.  My control chip is getting kind of blinky these days and Im not sure what program they are letting through so it could be your mother or that damn trojan horse virus that started in ATT land last month.

I keep hearing about getting a gun and get ammo for it.To protect your food and your property.I was a junior member of the NRA for two months in high school back in the 60's.They taught us mostly about gun safety and how to aim.I learned too you never,never aim at a human.Keep the gun aimed down at the ground all the time.In case of accidential discharge.In the Hoover towns in the early 1930's people chose to live in tents and help each other and not use guns to take what they needed or wanted(not the majority anyway).I would hope if it came to putting the metal to the petal.That people would focus more on helping each other than on using guns to take what you needed.triffid

It will be very interesting to see how people treat one another when we have a devastating earthquake in the USA soon.

There's also a semi-auto, drum-fed one in the movie, "Machete."

You're right, it was *devastating* in the movie.  The recoil kick should have been awesome.

Terrific self defense weapon against "Night of the Living Dead" assailants, if it's legal in your locality?

 The goverment can only do so much to hold jobs for it's people but the people have to buy and shop at the stores that have american made  and shop at the mom-pop stores, no-one is talking about living in the past, but by trying to live high on the hog and buying everything dirt cheap, has caught up with us, and now we are blaming our President for not putting us all to work this very minute, all Presidents try no matter who they are or party affiliation to keep the american people working but we must help by buying the things that we need that are american made. triffid

I was thinking of that while doing engineering research.  I'd like to concentrate on American manufacturers(naval engineering diesel suppliers) but foreign companies have bigger, more efficient engines(Wartsila marine diesels in Finland).  American Catepillar diesels comes closest.  GE LM6000+ gensets are adequate.
(I'm researching the design of more capable warships to tolerate missile battle damage from Russian antishipping missiles.)

But, you have a point if you imply, or state outright(?), Americans need to become more self sufficient in products they can make themselves and not depend on foreigners for what they want to buy.

Ah, the American dream!  Everything for ME NOW! and keep up with the Joneses next door!  I'm smart enough to know that won't last forever.  Greed is it's own reward/punshiment.

Very good.  My point above exactly.
When people realize the party is ending soon, and they have no money to throw around on unnecessary things, they'll be a lot less civilized and law-abiding if they're scared to death of starving.

The money in housing market is more precarious and less plentiful than many believe:

http://news.firedoglake.com/2010/08/31/data-suggests-imminent-spike-in-foreclosures/

I recall a few days ago that a financial reporter on a news program said that 5,000,000+ American  households are in default right now, and the banks are simply allowing the homeowners to ignore monthly payments---which the banks are eating in lost profits.  (Not good for their bottom line.)

If the banks called in the foreclosures at once(not likely at all!), the housing market would collapse.

That's what the reporter said and I agree.  As it is, house prices are forecast to continue falling for at least 2 more fiscal quarters in Western states and Florida in particular.

So the question may be asked.....Is anything positive going to come from all of this that is happening?

One of the reasons I'm not buying houses is that I believe the bottom to the housing market has not been reached.I'm content to wait another two years then start buying again.
