<p>[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1474751, member: 22004"]From time immemorial people have prophecied an imminent apocalypse base on astronomical, astrological, theological and other grounds. Supposedly stocking up on dry goods, guns and precious metals will position you well against the vagaries, challenges, survival potentials and dearth of economic and political crises. It seems to me that they are making provision for a future which may never arrive, like the Y2K situation. Books are sold, fortunes are made and frankly fortunes are lost banking on outcomes that do not develop. I met an ex-cop in the fall of 1999 who was banking on widespread bank failures as 2K rolled around, he was maxing out his credit cards and borrowing other money as well as looking for a survivalist property to ride out the coming economic storm. I doubt the reality was kind to him as the crisis did not develop as hoped/feared.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
