Bravo, the first uplifting thing I...@ Soggy Bottom<br /><br />Bravo, the first uplifting thing I've read here in the few short months I've been following the blog.<br /><br />I think perhaps you're describing my own personal economic beliefs, which apply to everyone.<br /><br />There are only 24 hours in a day, and a limited number of days in a lifetime. As with any limited commodity this makes them very valuable.<br /><br />Spend them wisely.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07114969850949360648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22903415.post-80908312372089537292010-04-27T06:22:33.686-07:002010-04-27T06:22:33.686-07:00I'm anxiously awaiting the launch of CollapseN...I'm anxiously awaiting the launch of CollapseNet.<br /><br />Although I agree with Mike that there are a lot of lifeboats being built on the ground, what I see from my corner of the country is that there's also a lot of distraction and splintering going on. Many people have fallen back asleep. I'm a part of the Transition Movement here in Colorado and the initiator of one of the most active groups. My opinion is that many people are taking their eye off the ball. It's difficult to keep people engaged. We get a lot of new members but not enough. Now that the economy is improving, people are busy recovering from various hardships.<br /><br />Anyway, I look forward to becoming a CollapseNet member.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04486379835722747813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22903415.post-2851917046645483412010-04-27T06:15:28.747-07:002010-04-27T06:15:28.747-07:00Chuck P,

You'd be surprised, or relieved, to note that upwards of 20-50 earthquakes happen EVERY DAY all over the world. It's normal. The MSM is just cashing in on people's fears. Don't worry.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04486379835722747813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22903415.post-79223519434776702652010-04-27T06:02:26.294-07:002010-04-27T06:02:26.294-07:00"Potential customers for the formidable Club-...<i>"Potential customers for the formidable Club-K system include Kremlin allies <b>Iran</b> and <b>Venezuela</b>, say defense experts."</i><br /><br />This comedy routine never gets old!<br /><br />Hey...

When Collapse.Net la...Just thinking out loud here…<br /><br />When Collapse.Net launches for real, then presumably Jenna’s enlightening news items will only be available to subscribers. C’est la vie. I am not arguing for or against the change - we all need to put bread on the table.<br /><br />There is a further implication tho, that I have not seen mentioned. This Blog is the mechanism for a rich and varied discussion in the form of these comments - when Jenna stops posting here, then (I assume) she will also stop moderating these comments. If that is the case, then I don’t blame her at all - moderating is a difficult and time consuming job. But at that point ‘We’ will no longer be able to post our views here.<br /><br />I am sure Mike has catered for a forum for posting comments on Collapse.net, and I am sure many here (and from Facebook) will switch to that new forum. Nothing stays the same forever, and evolution can be a good thing.<br /><br />However, that evolution will mean an end to this community as it stands - and I shall miss it… Not everyone ‘Here’ will be able to subscribe to Collapse.net, so we will lose many posters - and many new posters will join - which will change the flavour of the new forum. It will be a different community.<br /><br />The King is dead, long live the King!<br /><br />Personally I do not know if I will be able to afford to subscribe - like many here, I am on a low income. C’est la vie. Those are my choices. If not, then I shall miss Jenna’s news items, and I shall miss reading the many excellent posts here.<br /><br />NamastePaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677817760025400679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22903415.post-85808956445174338542010-04-27T05:46:42.716-07:002010-04-27T05:46:42.716-07:00IMF ...

Plus a multitude of jams, chutneys and bottled fruit.<br />There is a great sense of achievement when you 'put up' for Winter. Knowing you have good unadulterated food organically grown, wheat for grinding for bread and plenty of firewood to keep the cold at bay.<br />I like living like this. The pace is slower and there is time to marvel at the great moments that nature gives to us - Electric Storms that light up the sky and rainbows that send the kids scurrying to find the pot of gold at its end.<br />IMO we won't be downsizing when collapse finally happens. Rather, given the chance, I think we humans might be rather glad all that frenzy to 'get ahead' is past.<br />Yes I know the greedy and powerful will still try to make slaves of us with some other scam. But hey why don't we all get together and tell them no thanks. We don't have to fight them.

At some point, repairs will be way to expensive. In America, they're already going back to gravel roads. <br /><br />Highways and jet airplanes changed everything. Imagine when everything changes back.
