Remember that at some point we will be thrust back into the dark ages, where demand will overtake supply, where arrogance will replace ignorance, an we will be starting from scratch again.
When that time comes, I hope everyone has some way of charging their kindles, Ipads, computers and phones using a stationary bicycle and a generator.
When that time comes, if I am fortunate enough to still be here, I will be one of the guys with books. Books that explain how stuff works and how to make stuff and fix stuff!
You can have all the technology you want, but when the power goes out, so does the technology. Then where will you be???

I'll be looting like crazy.  |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
