I agree and think it's silly to be worried about the future so much that it ruins today. Although, nothing's wrong with a little planning ahead either.
I watched this show... can remember the title... "doomsday planners" or something?? Anyways the show was pretty funny because it showcases these people who are nutty and planning for the definite collapse coming soon. They have underground shelters, loads of food, stock piling guns, gas, buying camo to cover they're vehicles, etc.
Funny but those will be the people that will live through a worldwide collapse where I'll run out of gas in the VX the first day & be eaten by zombies. Nobody can predict the future.
Did you know under the Patriot Act if you have more than 7 days of food in your home you can be considered a terror threat? Wife told me that she saw that the other day on the news...
