I am in a different frame of mind tonight. I have re-read this thread, and want to offer a few additional thoughts for your consideration.

"Why Are Millions of Americans Preparing for Doomsday?"

Because they can.

Because they have access to a lot of information that is unprecedented in the history of the world as we know it.

Because they fear the intentions of the elected few.

Because the distrust the "system".

Because the President seems to support the Class Warfare crap that is fueling the "Occupy Movement".

Because the people that they know and look up to in their particular world are also really scared.

Because we are bereft of Leadership.

Mostly, I think, because we do not see anything that makes us hopeful that the next four years will be any better than the last four years.

Sadly, I think most Preppers feel that they have no further influence on the course of our nation any longer. And that is the most distressing to me. Without these folks, we are lost. These are the ones who can and will make choices that others think are "un-thinkable".

I hope you all get my meaning.
