Just to keep things simple today I wanted to share another article with a list of questions that you should be asking your non-prepping friends and family.

Really these questions are designed to get people thinking for themselves and doing a little digging into what is really going on around us, rather then just blindly believing what we are being fed in the media. The questions and links to additional articles are thought provoking to say the least. It really drives home the things that I have already been seeing and what I've been feeling for years.
I have always had a different perspective of politics and government then my peers. I remember even in high school having debates with people over how our system worked and it's flaws. Then I grew up, fell into my own life and became distracted as I raised my children. Now that they are all half grown I am starting to pay more attention. Even several years ago I saw news on tv and told my husband that our rights were under attack. The things our government was doing lead me to believe that our right to choose our religion and our right to free speech were under attack. I also watched as one law (CPSIA) single handedly reduced the number of crafters making a living on ebay and etsy and I said then that it was like they (people in charge, government, lawmakers, how ever you want to describe them) wanted to kill free enterprise in America. It didn't seem logical in the beginning of a recession to make it harder for people to make money when we needed to jump start our economy. As I am seeing all the pieces come together I think that my instincts have been right all along. I am not worried about death, I know where I am going. However I do worry about whatever time I have left on this earth and the time my children still have on this earth.
What do you think about the state of the country? Are you encouraging others to think for themselves?
