CNN has an article on their website about the rise in ’survivalism’. Link taken from ,Rawles’ website.
And another article quoting ,Rawles…this one about food rationing in the US. Phone must be ringing off the hook over there at the ,Rawles household. Thats, I think, three articles this month. Good for him.
From the Wall Street Journal…
Saw this in the opinions in the WSJ, it seemed appropriate to mention it here.

“Who are all these gun owners? Are they the uneducated poor, left behind? It turns out they have the same level of formal education as nongun owners, on average. Furthermore, they earn 32% more per year than nonowners. Americans with guns are neither a small nor downtrodden group.
Nor are they “bitter.” In 2006, 36% of gun owners said they were “very happy,” while 9% were “not too happy.” Meanwhile, only 30% of people without guns were very happy, and 16% were not too happy.
In 1996, gun owners spent about 15% less of their time than nonowners feeling “outraged at something somebody had done.” It’s easy enough in certain precincts to caricature armed Americans as an angry and miserable fringe group. But it just isn’t true. The data say that the people in the approximately 40 million American households with guns are generally happier than those people in households that don’t have guns.”
See? Sometimes it is all sunshine and stun grenades!

the fools are taking notice of the smarter ones taking stock of the lifeboats on the great ship America. Meanwhile the wiser ones had long ago, never boarded the leaky scow it is now.
