As long as there is someone to blame, there is no need to really prepare....

It occurred to me the other day. Pollies don't prepare because, in the back of their minds, they've already affixed blame. As long as someone else can be held accountable for their well-being when TSHTF, as long as they feel entitled to being taken care of, why prepare?

Say what? Whose going to take care of them? Certainly not me, that's for sure. Everyone will be on their own ITSHTF whether they are a polly or a doomer, of course doomers will have the advantage.

Feeling "Entitled to being taken care of" and $1.50 will get them a cup of coffee (maybe).

Bardou, pollies think the government or Big Brother will take care of them. That's why they're pollies!

The new slave owners will take care of them just enough for the bodies to continue working.

I'm sharpening the 'Biting Edge' of the fan blade to prevent excessive buildup. Also fixing the oscillator function to enable me to direct the "sh*t stream" where ever it will do the most good!

I'm putting in my order now for more fans. There will definately be a shortage, since there will be more you-know-what flying than fans to hit.
