The Dow at 17,800. Midterm elections have motivated a lame duck prez to enact his own agenda. Massive moves in the middle east/Korea/China... I dunno about y'all, but I'm am concerned.. Do I have enough? Have I thought of everything?

Answer...
No! You never have enough. Have you thought of everything? No!!!
BTW, if you're asking these questions...you are leaps and bounds more prepared than everyone else.

I'm very concerned about the times we live in as all here are. One thing I read yesterday bothered me quite a bit and I'm still thinking about it. Ever hear the phrase Stepford Students? Our children and grandchildren have been brainwashed for years now and these mindless group think kids who all follow the same mantra have become our enemies. I tried to imagine myself having to fight against my grandchildren, or being sick in a hospital with these anti free speech people looking after me. Or taking me out. And so many are being led into that death cult known as islam. It ain't science fiction any longer, it's happening on all university campuses and schools across the US and Canada. I'm not saying some of these kids won't see the light, but I fear most will not. Just more crap to add to the already large pile of crap in this pitiless world. As a Christian man I'm commmanded by Jesus not to worry, but some days I do worry. Most days actually. Just my opinion.

THAT is a GREAT observation! I have never thought of it quite in those terms before. But it is true the Progressives and collectivists are turning our kids and grandkids into our enemies.

As a side note: Welcome to the site. And I hope it is okay if I call you "Scatch" from now on. Typing "Saskatchewan" every time I want to address you is going to tie my fingers in knots.

Visit America often. Lots to see and do. We gripe about politics because we care and see things differently than the powers that be. Now your sheep may have a problem getting in with the rocket pod.

If it sneaks in, it will get government goodies. Probably look the other way on the rocket pod too.

Just be situationally aware like any place else on the face of the planet and you will do just fine. City or country.

My wife and I grew up in the 50s ----- this isn't the same country. We are very concerned for our grandchildren. We want them to grow up with some values -- values that don't appear to be alive in today's society and nation. Hedonism reigns. Traditional values don't matter. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are deemed "out of date." I could go on and on.
So, why do I prep, stock up on PMs, food, etc.? Why do we spend time with the grandchildren --- to do our best to instill character.

Yes, our nation and the world is in dire straights and spinning out of control... because of man's evil greedy heart.
The best we can do is to pray hard, prep hard and take care of our families.

Pretty much, this sums up the condition of all, not just in America but, in the world.
Psalm 2:1-5
Isaiah 5:20-21
Romans 1:21-25

And the solution, which few will accept.
John 3:16
Romans 3:23
Romans 6:23
Romans 10:9

Good to hear that marriage before children is your plan, our country has a horrible epidemic of out of wedlock births.

For us, being in our late 20's was a good time to start our family. Some can handle it earlier in age, some are better equipped later in age.

Slippy's advice (some of which he wished he had done more of...) Eat meals together, pray at night (or anytime for that matter) as a family and teach the young'uns to say Yes Sir/Ma'am to their elders. Teach 'em to say Please and Thank You. Pretty simple stuff.

Be a Father not a Friend when they're young, you can be a Friend to them later. Make them work for something when they're young and they'll get a work ethic that lasts forever. Spank their little asses when they get out of line (but not at the Wal Mart, crazy people will call the cops on you!) After you spank them, tell them you love them.

If they get a little loud and obnoxious at a restaurant or church, get up and take them outside. They'll learn. Good luck.
