I would like to make a statement here concerning my innermost feelings about Y2k and its possible impact on society and my family.
First of all, I want to say that my family of 5 has 5,000 gallons of Poland spring water, and enough canned food to last for 6 months. We also have enough firewood to last through the winter in NYC, since we have a fireplace.
I have not withdrawn all my money from the bank or my brokerage accounts. And I refuse to do so. If a major crisis develops and the banks go under, my family and I want to suffer with the rest of the World during this crisis. To be sure, we have transferred 1/3 of our assets into Gold bullion bars and we have a nice stash of cash in our home.
Personally, I hope the Polyannas are right and nothing tragic ensues. I sincerely hope that all the Polyannas have the opportunity to laugh in my face and tell me that I was Insane.My preparation was merely a life insurance policy. I hope nothing bad happens.
I also realize that I have no right to tell people how to prepare or what to do here. I am sincerely hoping for the best. If the worst occurs, my family's will to live would be devastated.
I see no point in building an Ark, like Noah did, as some people on this thread are doing. If the worst case scenario takes place and the grid goes down and many people die from lack of preparation, Life will become less meaningful to me and my family.
I don't think I'd want to live if the World went under and most people died as a result of this crisis.

Bearcub, I read very carefully all the news I post. I'm of moderate nature. I think for myself, believe solely in myself, and above all, LOVE this world which I live in, with my loved ones, with a Passion.</b.
