Such generalizations! Not everyone fits in with these stereotypes of life in America. At least I hope not. Who really knows? I am one of the ones who has lived with so many potential disasters. I know that things have changed. The weather changes are most remarkable when you can see the long term effects, but ...
Look at everyone walking around connected to their cell phones. The virtual life that so many live because it is preferable to direct interaction?
Who are you trying to convert? Aren't we all here already? Do you think there are still people who are willing to listen?
Some of us have taken a side step away from the madness that current life presents us with. Let us be ready but in a peaceful way. Otherwise only the military types will survive to continue the species-- that thought gives me little hope.
Homesteaders unite and let us ensure that peaceful, sustainably minded people will continue.
Matthew 24:5-12 New Living Translation (NLT)
5 for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. 7 Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. 8 But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.
