So far, and in my opinion, that does seem to be the charted course. But truthfully, any number of proposed theories could come to fruition; however, I vest more energy into things that have happened in our recent history - like economic collapse and World War, rather than focusing on things like solar flares and catastrophic environmental changes. The latter are possible, but the former are more common to occur. Nevertheless, I could be wrong about what's to come, but does it not feel as though something bad is coming?

Sustainability of resources, reduction on relying on others, and cost savings. What could be wrong with that? Now, if I'm wrong, I have lots of cheaply acquired, first quality, healthy, non GMO / chemical and preservative laden food on hand, and more growing and raising every day, along with the means to prepare and store it. If YOU are wrong, you are going to die a slow, painful, miserable, death. Starvation, dehydration, and sickness REALLY sucks! You don't think in CAN happen here? I hope you're right. But I wouldn't bet on it.

I wouldn't bother mate. Unless you like the taste of irradiated food...

Nah ! I live in a country where the odds of having an earthquake or other major natural disasters , is pretty remote . Which is why my ancestors wisely chose to stay put in our green and pleasant land + not tempted to migrate to the American colonies..


Listen to Al Murray - be patient and learn abt the St.Andreas fault.

The main concern here in California is a major earthquake. If and when it happens, there's a good chance of there being few services available for many days, and perhaps weeks. Food, water, weapons, training and a bug out plan is a necessity. The semi-urban area where I live will be mess within 3 days of a disaster. I don't intend to stay in my home and wait for bureaucrats to come save me.

The best part is recycling the food and water every year for Burning Man.

There are extremes to preparation, just like there are extremes to everything else. Being prepared for disaster is not a bad thing. What will you do when there is a disaster? Sit in your home and demand help?

The trick is to help one another and neither panic nor hate. Co-operative species survive, the others are dying out because they lack decency and intelligence.

Trivial Info'n -- which country has the most earthquake tremors?
Great Britain , but thank God they are tiny . True fact .

St Andreas fault rearing into action is my dream . Live on TV , California and the West Coast sinking . Then I can die happy --- probably wouldn't because the Tsunami wave would be at least 200 feet high .

Yes, we all saw how well that worked after hurricane Katrina. Hard to cooperate when everyone around you--including the local police--are looting.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'll continue to make my own plans.

Well, obviously, if you wait for your capitalist masters to do anything but rob you, waiting and looting will be your portion. You won't survive, of course, but you'll make the gunsmiths' profits bigger! Happy days!

Would it sink? I don't know, I am asking.

If you've ever flown over the Andes, it's an amazing sight. Miles and miles of mountains. If you walk through them, they look very much like the west of Scotland, although on paper they are high. This is how I understand it...West of Scotland mountains look high because you look up from sea level. In Peru, you are already on top of a mountain, which has a mountain range on top of it. The plates came together and pushed the land up, out of the ground. The Andes is on top of that. It's way above sea level before you even start.

Maybe the US West Coast will rise 200 feet above sea level and thwart evil desires.
