This one appeared on August 15, 2006.<BR/> <BR/>The Mayan long calendar ends 12.21.2012<BR/> <BR/>I think in 2012 things will be very different on planet earth...maybe the 4 guys in the VW with boards and ropes should tell us where they get their news from, as they seem to be spot on - (in my mind of course.)<BR/> <BR/>http://tinyurl.com/k3eux<BR/> <BR/>"In The Mayan Factor by José Arguelles, we understand that LAMAT marks the beginning of the final AHAU cycle which includes all 13 Katuns. This final cycle is a culmination of the Baktun of the Transformation of Matter and began in the year 1756 to be completed in the year 2012. The energy of LAMAT is to ‘Seal [the whole mind of the world] with the Star-Seed Harmony’. LAMAT heralds a new way of living on Earth and a new experience and understanding of material life, including our own bodies. This is certainly reflected in the beautiful and elegant symmetry of this crop circle.

Could’ve probably gotten a lot more if I had sold each piece individually over EBay, but I don’t have the time for that.<BR/><BR/>Now we are coming up on the best time of year to snap up an old car & parts on the cheap.<BR/><BR/>Wait until a week or so after New Year’s, then pick the coldest, wettest, most miserable day, dress yourself up comfortably, and drop a visit to the seller of whatever items you desire.<BR/><BR/>As the car or parts are typically either outdoors or in an unheated garage, you will be able to carefully & slowly examine everything; again, slowly. Then dicker over the price - say - first try for 50% off the asking price.<BR/><BR/>Often this technique works. The seller becomes quite cold and uncomfortable, and may just throw in the towel, say “f*ck it” and sell it at your price just to get rid of it and to get back indoors where it is warm & cozy.<BR/><BR/>This same technique may just also work with a FB who is going the “sell it by owner” route!<BR/>-MammothAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1163790069552206992006-11-17T19:01:00.000+00:002006-11-17T19:01:00.000+00:00But will we be seeing Mustangs going for $50K in a...But will we be seeing Mustangs going for $50K in a few years?

Our individual behavior derives entirely from<BR/>genes and environment (lifetime environment, but mostly present<BR/>environment) . Our present genes are the product of earlier genes and<BR/>earlier environments. We are born with different genetic programming<BR/>for self, family, and social group ("tribe").<BR/><BR/>The human mind is optimized for "politics" [1]. Although few of us are<BR/>consciously aware of it, we swim in politics like a fish swims in water:<BR/><BR/>"In fact, telling primates (human or otherwise) that their<BR/>reasoning architectures evolved in large part to solve problems of<BR/>dominance is a little like telling fish that their gills evolved in<BR/>large part to solve the problem of oxygen intake from water."<BR/>-- Denise Dellarosa CumminsRoccmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13941353492023923157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1163780831104249792006-11-17T16:27:00.000+00:002006-11-17T16:27:00.000+00:00Buy ammo?

If TSHTF, you’d better believe that those with the foresight to provision food & water “just in case” will also have the ammo to protect it.<BR/><BR/>Wasn’t there an incident during the Hurricane Katrina aftermath, when a hoard of people exiting the city was stopped by a group of gun-toting people who lived in the neighborhood they felt was being invaded?<BR/><BR/>A little knowledge about producing your own food, and some land to grow/raise it on, may come in handy too. I have mentioned this before on HP but have seen little response.<BR/><BR/>Imagine living in St. Louis when the New Madrid fault decides to produce another massive shaker like it did in the winter of 1811-1812. Or LA, Portland or Seattle - all potential earthquake targets.<BR/><BR/>Suddenly there would be no water, and the food would run out quickly. How many people are prepared for this? Time to get ready.<BR/><BR/>On the bright side, those with cash would have the opportunity to snap up some cheap housing!<BR/><BR/>-MammothAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1163778759320958782006-11-17T15:52:00.000+00:002006-11-17T15:52:00.000+00:00I agree completely Corvinus, The brain-washed and ...I agree completely Corvinus, The brain-washed and brain-dead American no longer has any forsight or ability to plan for a rainy day.

But they may experience "very low food security." <BR/><BR/>Every year, the Agriculture Department issues a report that measures Americans' access to food, and it has consistently used the word "hunger" to describe those who can least afford to put food on the table. But not this year. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Mark Nord, the lead author of the report, said "hungry" is "not a scientifically accurate term for the specific phenomenon being measured in the food security survey."Roccmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13941353492023923157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1163777283723399902006-11-17T15:28:00.000+00:002006-11-17T15:28:00.000+00:00Well here we go - another parallel between housing...Well here we go - another parallel between housing & cars.
