I have been looking around for the local Republican party outlet. I would like to get involved, and a bit earlier. I am registered as an independent, and will probably keep it that way until the party cleans out the radicals and RINOs, at least from leadership initially. The rest of the zombie cleanup will an ongoing project, with an understanding that some states may never get better than a RINO offering until or unless the whole nation comes back to sanity and finds a way off the public teat. That weaning would require a social revolution, which is a thing unto itself to a degree. Anyway, so I am beginning to search.
Next on my list is finding when and where the next, relatively close, Tea Party event will be held. I do not have a fortune I can use to travel wherever, whenever, and just hope I can somehow cover expenses. I have other interests, needs, requirements, and even wants that are more important as they lead to a surer long term survival situation. Something I think is becoming more and more important in our current fiscal and political climate. Just 41 is not enough. If we were talking about 61, and truly right conservatives, perhaps I could relax just a wee. But 41, come on. Still, I think with a little planning and perhaps joining forces with other locals, being a little more active in this Tea Party thing could not only be another part of my survival planning, but a positive means of doing the right thing, getting to know local people who might be a bit more trustworthy, and simply an activity where I might learn to play better with others. :p
Today's plans were shot down by exhaustion. I simply got cold, very unusual for me, and melted into exhausted sleep. Bah, I will get up, out, and going more, and soon. I am back on track, to a degree, through drinking soda. As well, I drink about 1 and 1/2 times more water than soda, to offset some of the potential damages. It is not perfect, but it is helping. I think I will be cleaning the house this night, or at least beginning to do a run through it. I will start one room at a time and see how far I get, then carry on from where I finished when I can. There is nothing like a kempt place to energize the body. Oh, and I might try to cook a bit more as well, eating out when I just know I will not be able to clean up afterward. I got the dishwasher working, and with a few tricks and a few exemptions, all is good with that.
Anyway, I hope you all are plotting, planning, working, saving up, and preparing. Even if THE day, whatever type of day that awful day may be, never does come, I cannot help but think that it is better to be prepared than to be caught flat-footed, alone, even with a fistful of dollars (which will very possibly be absolutely useless). Oh, my bean eating period actually went well. It never got too boring, with just a little bit of mixing and matching of spices, little bits of meat or rice, and other things. But it did start wearing on my internals. No, not gas, or loose bowels, it merely became a bit too filling every time and even in smaller amounts. The body likes variety and beans, the ones I tried and I would guess all of them, simply do not have enough variety for the gastro-intestinal system even if they do flavorwise. Yeah, something to think about, especially since my system is as hardy as they get.
I'm always vigilant, Doom. I may poke a lot of fun at SubZero and his contemptible nincompoops, but I am, in reality, a very serious person with very serious stages of preparations going on. It's good to be ready for the worst.
ReplyDelete"better to be prepared than to be caught flat-footed"
ReplyDeleteHeh. Yep..I seen a History Channel thang about the Pentagon planin' how to address fuel, food, water iffin' we git a new "little ice age" --meanin' it doan have to be a designed event, but could be mama nature herself what causes us'uns to be sern pleased we played like squirrels an put stuff in the ground.
Snarky,
ReplyDeleteI had no doubts. Your attitude is one thing, what it is based upon and how you deal with the underlying issue(s) are both other matters. Don't worry, I get that. Not that it happens every time, but most people who are willing to get their feet seriously wet calling out a potential future dictator and his henchmen has more in the game than the "fun factor". Unless they are suicidal. I don't think you are.
Aunty Belle,
Absolutely! Nature, mother or not, has the power to crush anything and everything man has ever built. From asteroids to ice ages, volcanic eruptions to tectonic plate movements, just a few degrees of shift by her could make us not exist. Which is part of the reason that when scientists, on a global level, call for the eradication of man down to 10%, they have no clue what they are fooling with. Even with God kept out of the equation (which is sort of like taking oxygen out of the equation in man's overall existence, but lets roll with the dolts for a second), scientists and their theory of saving the earth by "reducing the number of humans" is telling nature it is wrong, all they while they claim to wish to preserve nature. Man is, if they are to be believed, the culmination of nature. We are what it (not he or she) wanted. The rest, if nature was the only designer, was just developmental studies by nature to get to us.
Nature, if it is it's own essence, is not pluralistic. It only wants the best, the rest is just a stepping stone. Hmm, I am seeing easily how God is better than that. Each is a creation of it's own and for it's own sake, so precious (if too, we are, again, the most precious). Which, obviously, shows again that God is greater than any 'nature first' scenario. The trouble comes when people try to disbelieve in God while believing in His creations, techniques, and such. Oh well.
Oh, just woke up. Back to your thoughts. (D'oh!) Destruction by man is less dangerous than natural disasters for sure. Our nukes might be worse, but the honest truth is, they probably never would have been used globally. Actually, their greater destructive force was not in their use, but oddly, that they kept an artificial peace in place. War has ever been a means of men keeping our populations in check. With nukes, people have overpopulated sort of unnaturally. Then again, leaving all things in God's hands and having faith is all we have ever truly had.
Or, something like that.
