This hasn't been posted about yet.  But think about this, how do most of our products get to us?  By transportation.  What does that transportation need to run?  GAS!  Basically prices for everything will probably go up because of the gas shortage/price raise.  What happens when everything doubles in price and gas triples?  People will not be able to pay for gas to get to work, get fired, and then not be able to afford anything!  This is just going to cause a downward spiral that will only get worse before it gets better (I'm guessing at least 5 years).  By then it might start to get better, but nothing will be the same again.

  how do you siphon whats not there?  and that will only hurt the person you are doing stealing it from which will hurt everyone.  What if that person you are siphoning from ran a grocery store?  What happens when there is no people to give you food?  What happens when those people cant run the power plants?  What happens when the police can't work?  What happens is every city in the US becomes violent like new orleans, complete anarchy.

Don't be a slave to gas addiction. Ride your bike to work... like many other places in the world. What is happening now is that goods and services are not worth the gas they use so they will disapear. I have a closet full of rifles and ammo so if things really get that hairy I can get whatever I need to survive, I aim for no excess. I stopped by a feed store and started setting up a vegitable garden today, figured it could be good timing and I had wanted to set on up for awhile. Finally us Americans will sell our V-8s and start carpooling, use public transit.

Nick, I fear the day we have to revert to murder to survive, well that day has come.  I think everything should be done to stop it.  IMO 100 military police officers is not enough, we need AT LEAST 1 regiment of marines in there, right now 50-100 firefighters and their families are being held hostage in Perish.  Bush needs to send actual soldiers in, send the navy to New Orleans.  Do anything we have to to get control back.  I really wish I could go down and help out the good guys, but I'm afraid I would hender more than help most likely.

Same here.. couldn't get in anyway. What they need is a large scale police action. The Army/Marines only kill, as is their job, but no good to defuse this situation unless we write off all the innocents as well. I hate to think like that, especially for fellow Americans. Could sure use some of the MPs though. Would be nice to see some FBI cracking down on those gangs. Army/Marines would be good for providing escort and protection so that the others can get their jobs done, but I think if they tried to get them to manage the people it would result in a bloodbath. Rifleman don't carry handcuffs, that spot is reserved for an extra magazine.

Those were the days.

Why must you to bring religion into this?  I said nothing about it.  Frankly I don't care what you do.
