Gas will soon be a bargain at $6.00 per gallon. It's going to be a West vs. East scenario and it will be a free for all once resources start becoming hard to get. At even $5.00 a gallon for gas food prices will dramatically increase causing most people to choose between skipping a meal or paying the electric bill or rent or mortgage. You ain't seen noting yet.

We all know what we as human beings are capable of in desperate situations including cannibalism all we can do is prepare for the worst and hope for the best. And if all else fails you can spend several luxurious nights at camp FEMA. Where you will be inoculated against many diseases with antibiotics using mercury and full of cancer cells. oh yes lets not forget the GPS sub dermal tracking chip.
That's OK don't worry. Survivor is on and it's almost baseball season. GO PIRATES !
