Barry, I nearly pissed myself reading your post (psst!!! if you DO start a hijacking business, give me a call, I'm on your side.).

As a WWII baby I am used to rationing and people growing cabbages in window boxes.

As SRS says, we will certainly be planting a veggie garden next year, crash or not.

You're right Amos, a full collapse is hard to envision, but there will certainly be a lot of hardship for everyone to recover from that past eight years.

Another thing to consider is that we have to work together with our neighbors to overcome whatever adversity we face.
