    Herb may I suggest chicken as a viable livestock for you to raise...short maturation time, tastes good, hens lay a crap load of eggs and you can raise rooster to fight for entertainment.. You ever watch Survivor man? He built a very nice homestead that is completely off the grid....

    We have 8 Pigmies in all and one Kinder goat. She's going to be our 'milker' once she kids out. We haven't eaten any...yet. Mostly they are meant to keep the weeds trimmed, but they might come in handy for other purposes if things get really bad. Stringy meat eh? Saves us having to stock up on floss then. :ebert:

    As far as goat eating goes I was in a third world country stranded due to a sand storm.. no supplies for 3 days straight (no food or water) My team was located near a small village so we went into the village paid the locals a modest sum of money and they served us up a nice dish of roasted goat over rice and a side of foot bread ( just like flat bread but they used their feet to achieve the desired results) For drinks we had nice stream water treated with Iodine tablets..ahhh good times

    Laugh now, but... Floss is high on my list of things to stock up on. Good barter item, and dental health would be a big issue post-SHTF.


    TEOTWAWKI - Floss would be like gold to those young men and women that would like to get laid.

    People ALWAYS want to get laid, that's how we got 6 billion + people. Look at 3rd world countries. They don't have shit, but they're fucking like rabbits. And the old (30+) guy whose been milking a half a bottle of generic Cool Water for ten years probably fathered 2/3 of the kids in the village...

    Got that right my frd!! ;


    BTW .....anyone hear of what they slipped into this new bill which had nada to due with he economy?


    The bill contains a provision for a new position National Coordinator of Health Information Technology. One function will be to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. So all of you “seasoned” citizens and those with medical problem your treatment may be to costly in the government’s eyes and you may not get it even if you need it to live. Hope and Change ...ahh sweet isn't it?? NOT.....especially more government in your face whether you choose it or not. Now your records will be for all eyes although they will tell you different. Sorry but I would not want my medical history just out there on the net yanno? Not to mention I have A+ healthcare and do not want anyone but my own physicians making the decision including me on what I want or need. Pffft now we have to depend on the government to determine appropriate and cost effective even if YOU have health insurance? Screw that......welcome to the Obama world of Socialism which yes skeers me!


    I did want universal healthcare for those who did not have health insurance but for those who do have it>>>should have a choice!!!

    Mermaid, that is not how it is spelled out in the bill, that is how it is being interpreted by an uneducated op/ed article. Whether the bill is good or not, I don't know, I haven't seen the whole thing.

    Here is the bill in ref to this socialized healthcare where yes he did sneak in MORE government decision aka in your face/lives which sorry I am not diggin it my frd.


    As for uneducated ppl interpreting the bill or article I previously posted above.....ummm if you have the time check out this actual bill being slipped in when it clearly has no effect on stimulating the econoy.


    Take a look and then tell me what you think :) Many pages but it was a real eye opener.


    Peace

    When the economy 'bottoms out'(ie,shafted up the arse),how will we know?Hmm i WONDER!

    Aint that the truth man:aHerb i was gonna start a new thread just for the topic of the following associated press article and the upcoming G20 meeting in which UK premier Gordon Brown wants to make global uniform regulations for banks and traders,etc but i thought that seeing you started this thread waaaaaay before this unseen recession of the worlds COUNTRIES nevermind corporations:eek: ,i thought it best that we keep all financial related stuff in this thread,this thread may end up the most viewed thread in GK history but the sad thing is that by time this thread is finished a barrow of dollar billls might not be able to buy you fresh milk and bread from your local supermarket which leads me to the topic and article at hand,postyed under 2 hrs ago....JUST WHERE WILL IT ALL END...OR WILL IT END:ponder:Heres just one experts view on the situation.Peace:potleaf:


    PS:Im not sure that Obama saying that this recession could be a 'time of great oppportunity' thats exactly what gordon brown has been saying and i see hes had more access to pres obama than any other world leader cos G.Brown in 2 years will take over as the boss of the hopefully reformed International Monetery Fund/World Bank:rolleyes:),Obamas words in political speak mean.."im gonna do what the UK is doing and take out another credit card to not just pay the bills but to spend,spend,spend aswell":eek:I understand basic economics and i understand that they THINK they can borrow and buy their way out of this and save their economies but the banks are taking,taking,taking and STILL failing while STILL taking huge fatcat bonuses:disgust: Yes obamas 'great opportunity' means he knows congress musty back him for a new credit card funded by he arabs or chinese maybe?Cos if they are seen to be doing fuck all then the republicans who voted agaonst it will face the risk of becoming unelectable shuld the worst happen....but is the worst really gonna happen,lets read this article i just done reading.>>>

    Nik you think as I do my frd! Pretty sad that we have people living in this Tent city and the new package he passed will not help the little people get a roof over their head. So much for his promise about ear marks, to not let the fat cat's or people who have a hidden agenda into his white house huh?


    Look at his cabinet....enuff said!


    One thing he did do right was to lift the 8 yr restriction on stem cell research..... ;) See I did give him credit for something :)
