tnx. i think i will read the book (crash proof, right?)

just wanted to post this in case you still haven't decided on your next painting - this is my favorite ron paul "picture". maybe you can add more life to it: http://files.meetup.com/502939/Ron%20Paul%20face%20Stencil.jpg and another nice drawing - this type of angle would look awesome on...

awesome painting! i agree with some others, you could have picked a better photo to render, but the painting itself is amazing. great work.

so as i mentioned this to my wife, we both realized we know nothing about how to go about stocking food/water. any quick tips? how to store? what to store? how to keep food from spoiling?

More quotes: • Jon Birger, senior writer, Fortune Investors Guide 2008 Smart investors should buy [Merrill Lynch] stock before everyone else comes to their senses.” Merrill’s shares plummeted 77 percent. • Elaine Garzarelli, president of Garzarelli Capital, Business Week’s Investment Outlook...

point very well taken. i'll pitch it to my wife this way. thanks.

stuck in California for the foreseeable future. one of the interesting controversies arising from all of this has to do with state workers. would you believe that are over 200,000 people on state payrolls in CA!? insane. i live near sacramento, which makes the budget problem an interesting...

haven't done the water/food thing yet, but we're debt free... just saving for a house (for once the housing crash wraps up)

so you're a fan of junk silver eh? i figured i'd get some half dollars, quarters and dimes (well circulated) for general trading/purchasing. the fancy shiny silver and gold would be for wealth preservation.

yea yea, i know :) veering slightly to another topic, i see my coin purchases as just an extension of my cash emergency fund, though this would be for "real" emergencies. anyone have an opinion on how much of an emergency fund to maintain in real money (metals) ?

I may get a safe eventually, but I figure I'll just be stashing them for now. Are there any good hiding places one can recommend or is this the kind of thing each person just comes up with on their own?

Silver AEs. Pretty happy. I figured this would get me on my way, after thinking about it for so long (about 2 years). Now... where to hide it?

I would love this.

For the record (I'm not gonna read the whole thread :) ), G. Edward Griffin's example here is almost identical to an example that Murray Rothbard used. So, it's fine.

this is my home area so i've been tracking this stuff with interest for several years. it's only going to get worse!
