losman, do you think that toy is why you are the way you are today?

Just had to ask...!
It did help, but what's doing it today for me is the fact that I still remember not too long ago about 50 years ago when my family had to leave Cuba with nothing on their backs and seeing what's happening in this country not helping. Trust me ...you only want to experience that once in a life time, or not at all. What's happening to the US dollar, and the potential of inflation, the employment %, the spending the US GOV is taking on and the wasteful spending just tells me we are heading down a path that is not good at all.
I was looking at the availability of gun powder, and the prices today and the availability of emergency food...well it's not good...why ... because people are stocking up, like me. The economic situation in this country and if foreign countries stop buying or dept...those two factors could turn our society as we know if upside down in days. Actually the whole world is a tinder box ready to go off. I see the 2010 election as a pivotal point for the future of this country. What;s happening down like a patient fighting cancer. I'll stop and get off my soap box. I'll send you a PM off the video a friend sent me today, so you can understand how I woke up to..today.
