isn't it odd how some of us returning to our agrarian roots/choices/well stocked pantries/root cellars are being compared to military draft dodgers? Hmmm..... so you're recommendation is that some 250 million+ should all take up your lead, sell their property and "return to their agrarian roots"?? Wouldn't that leave the United States an Agrarian nation once again? Some future.... So bearcub, your choice of lifestyle is fine with me. But you have no right or business disdaining those of us who have opted not to take such an radical step toward intentionally disrupting our own lives even more than Y2K might. And believe me, you're not going to be doing much agricultural work either this winter. And by the time you get your crops in from the 2000 harvest, I suspect things will have sorted themselves out sufficiently to restore a food distribution system (taking into account the most extreme scenario possible, no matter how improbable). And should the need ever arise, god forbid, I spent enough time in dear old Ma Ma's "victory garden" that it won't take much to get back behind a roto-tiller and put in a crop. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, now won't we? Personally, I don't believe it will be as bad as you think it will be. But nor do I believe there will be no repercussions. But we all live or die by our decisions in life. And I guess I just have a lot more confidence in the American people to pull together and do what's right in the face of great adversity, no matter what the source.

<he is going to "bond with his fellow man> Great post! But,you shouldn't have said 'venison'-since he's probably bored with his Democatic socialist fare, he might be joining you and yours for real food about Jan 5, when his stores run out! Don't give him your address or he'll likely bring his followers who he convinced also to not prepare 'cause nothing will happen if those damn conspirators like Ken and Bearcub don't excite everyone too much'! Ops, maybe they won't be able to escape D.C. Permanent Relocation Compound # 16, and you won't have to worry after all! Then again, maybe the govt will impound poor ole Ron under existing EOs to help out in the utility mines (without pay, the EO says). Guys with soooooo much programming knowledge as he professes here to have will be the top priority guys for FEMA IT Procurement Division to 'borrow' for a few months... A chance to see the country, perhaps. He does a good fix job in DC, and out he goes somewhere else, like transfers in the Army...See America for free! Don't think that EO stipulates any time period they have to release anyone back to their home....
