I aggree with you. I try to be a 'glass half full' kind of guy, but when you watch the news, read the paper, or get on the internet, all you see is BAD, and getting worse. I am not trying to promote my views, so please forgive me if I offend you, but I think Obama has but this country into such a bad direction, we may NEVER recover as a country. But with that aside, you can never be wrong for preparing to take care of your family, be it from world wide collapse, earthquake, or just having the power go out during a storm.
