"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
San Francisco And Oakland Crowds Hand Over Guns in Buyback
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Sun, 2012-12-30 02:00
"The line was so long in San Francisco that there was no cash left after lunchtime and I.O.U.s were substituted instead. Oakland’s citizens gave even more guns back, including assault weapons and Ak-47s; the line of people returning guns, which was comprised of those standing and those in cars, was almost two miles long. A limit of three per person was imposed."

I predict that the lines will be much shorter, during the coming food shortage, when those who populate the upper echelon of the abstract know as "government", offer their genetically modified organisms, (euphemistically called "food", of course), for any gold or silver individuals may have "hoarded" during more prosperous times.

It sounds like something the gov would do. I believe you mentioned it first regarding the confiscation of gold, making it illegal to own. I decided to go back to the squirrel thing now as a preperation. Meat is espensive this way it's a lot less. Cook it down then dehydrate it and or can it. Nobody here of course here are prepared to eat squirrel. Have two fresh ones ready to work on tomorrow. Hope they get a good nights sleep.
Stay Safe, stayh well, and watch your six.

"Nobody here of course here are prepared to eat squirrel."
Nonsense.
The question is who will also eat raccoon, muskrat, and opossum. Of the three, I prefer marsh rabbit slow cooked in cattail roots with some garlic if I can find it-very clean tasting meat.
While turtle is good, I hope I never need to eat snakes or lizards again-the texture is odd...though booze helps.
I can eat just about anything that breathes and much of what grows, though. What I cannot eat is gold or silver...though I suspect the linen in FRN's might add some starch to a stew if the ink is not poison...
Best,
Mike
