The purpose of the Federal government was to hold a standing army (with small, State supported militias also in place) and to have a national currency. <br /><br />And somewhere along the line, the States increasingly lost power, which we gave over to the Federal government. <br /><br />I think if we want to wrest power back from the Feds, we have to start with boosting the power of our States, and reminding our State leaders that THEY are the ones who have ultimate power - not the President and not the Congress. I mean, if Maine says NO to the health care, or NO to sending its citizens' money to bail out banks in New York and California, or NO to sending our Maine National Guard soldiers for that war, what are the FEDS going to do? Cut funding? Attack us? I think we have to be willing to stand behind our state and local governments and be willing to accept fewer handouts, because as long as they're giving us all that we think we need, what's happening will just get worse.<br /><br />When I was six, I was involved in an accident that left me unconscious for a couple of days. I wasn't supposed to survive unscathed, but here I am, thirty-six years later, with only a couple of scars. We should poll all of the preppers and survivalists we know to find out how many of us survived life-threatening events when we were younger. It could very well be the Universe sparing us because we have a job to do ;).Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04642417312794814066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-10136897048319136962010-01-16T11:33:56.429-06:002010-01-16T11:33:56.429-06:00Sci, get out of my head! ; ) Excellent post ma'...Sci, get out of my head! ; ) Excellent post ma'am.

In the same way Tom found his by starting the network. I think you are here to help wake people up and teach them all about food preservation and the like. You do this so naturally I don't think you realize it. I "watched" you that night in my lounge when it was really crowded. You just hopped right in and started helping out the newbies that were confused and had questions. It was effortless for you. :)<br /><br />I have to ask, Do you think it odd that you/we/us all kinda found each other at the same time?<br /><br />I think about that all the time, and I often tell Catman "how weird that we all came together at one time and we are all within a 10-15 year age span from each other" <br /><br />It is also weird that the guys, Cat, wolfe, MayB, Bulls, YOF etc. all seem to be cut from the same cloth. For the most part, so are the girls. Seriously, look at how alike you and I are and you and Ernie. Wolfe swears I could be IR sometimes.<br /><br />I don't know Sci, maybe I read too much into things as well, but I honestly think something or someone brought us all together for a reason. <br /><br />Maybe that is the reason for us being here. To just be in the here and now for each other, to help us get through this mess in one piece together.<br /><br />I'll stop now before my comment turns into a blog post. LOL! Sorry for rambling(my mind gets carried away sometimes)<br /><br />Hugs~n~Love<br />~Felinae~Felinaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07997272830181104083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429758274949022857.post-40634677331954499612010-01-15T10:05:27.060-06:002010-01-15T10:05:27.060-06:00Thanks for the read SciFi.
