In my area it is illegal to collect rain water. Governments need tax dollars and water companies need customers.  We get over 80 inches of rain per year on average and we have one of the highest water company rates in the country.

Wow, that is absolute insanity. Where are you again? In the Northwest?

I hope they never make it illegal to grow vegetables and herbs in my backyard as well.

They probably will oneday, so you'll be forced to eat that nasty pestified, GM stuff that'll do god knows what to your body. Haha... a black market for untouched watermelon seeds! Police raid family illegally growing cauliflower!

And it's ridiculous that it's illegal to collect rain water... what a waste. Okay, sure the plants and wild animals drink it but shouldn't we be allowed to too? Stupid, stupid.

Titmouse, I like your idea to put aside a small subsidy for your children's education. Too much takes away their independence... there's something right about that idea but I can't put my finger on it.

Re: If you had half a million dollars what would you do?

I'm not sure if I understand the reasoning behind the law.  I'll ask around.  Does it really matter what the excuse is, when any excuse will do?  Regulators must regulate. Law abiders need laws. Law makers make laws.  We will find that free energy is not free.

Re: If you had half a million dollars what would you do?

Bottom line is that we will most likely see the demise of the dollar in our lifetimes, (this is supported by heaps of evidence.) The elite want to unify the North American continent under one power, The North American Union (NAU.) The collapse of the dollar will allow for a transition into the NAU by providing a new currency.

Spirituality is about awareness right? Asking questions is great for enhancing your awareness about the future and what may or may not come.

Important questions:

Will the vibration of the planet truly reach unprecedented heights allowing us to vibrate to another plane of existence and completely ditch this time line?

What will life be like as the dollar becomes worth less and less incrementally? This could probably be divided into stages.

Which jobs will be the first to go?

What industries will go?

What industries will remain?

Will gas become unaffordable?

Will there be enough gas to transport food and other commodities long distances?

How will grocery stores accept payment for their food when the dollar becomes worthless?

Will we still get utilities like water, electricity, and gas?

Will internet still be around?

What will happen to everyone's properties if they can no longer make payments?

Given that poverty increases crime, will we have martial law in America?

What will our government being doing to remedy the economics of America?

Is it possible the transition to the NAU will be quick and efficient?

Will the leaders in the U.S. military maintain control over their bases and troops or will there be much instability?

Adolf Hitler came to power after Germany experienced a depression. Will we see a dictator rise to power?

Being that everyone is naive and ignorant will they be persuaded to invade Iran and other countries to defeat terror?

Will there be a scapegoat for the economic collapse? I doubt a truthful explanation will be given.

What explanation will the media and our political leaders offer for the collapse?

What will be on the Elite's agenda after the collapse?

How will the other major powers of the world respond to the collapse of the U.S.?

Does the Elite have control over Russia, China, and the other powerful countries of the world?

Is the Elite in cahoots with the elite of China, Japan, France, India, Pakistan, and Turkey?

Will there be lots of instability all over the world or will everything go according to plan for the Elite?

Will the human race become to unruly and bring down the control that the Elite possesses?

If this does occur will the powers of nuclear weapons come into good hands or bad ones?

Will aliens have any say in these matters?

What affect with the alien presence have on future matters of the world?

Will the aliens prevent us from destroying the planet with nuclear bombs out of a vested interest in preserving the biological diversity of the planet?

I have a running joke that if I had the money I'd buy the golf course down the street from me and let it re-wild...just to piss off rich men with too much time.

but you can avoid its teeth.

Re: If you had half a million dollars what would you do?

John Hogue just released his 2008 predictions.  It's rather lengthy, so I won't (C&P).  Not everybody is a Nostradmus/Hogue fan so I won't take up space.
He predicted that the NR forum would still be up and running in 2009, huh?
If I had a 1/2 mil I'd have to buy a bigger mattress.

Re: If you had half a million dollars what would you do?

Those predictions are total BS (no offense to you.) I like to make predictions based off an understanding of how the world works and how people typically react, not by pulling shit out of my ass.

Societies used to be centered around agriculture, rivers, and lakes. I think we will see a return to this. As demand for everything that is not of subsistence value loses it's demand.

A crash will cause everyone to be poor as heck. Naturally all money will go towards food, water, and shelter. If you have extra money then it will go towards either more food or possibly electricity. Will things get this bad? Does living in America somehow make our shit smell like flowers and the rainbow shine out of our ass? Is our labor inherently worth more? Our country is as good as it is, because our currency holds a high value.

All in all, we will have to start making stuff again in the U.S. if we are to reduce unemployment rates. We will then be looked upon for cheap labor like China. New factories will have to be built. America will no longer be a land of prosperity.

The Elite must have a plan with what to do with everyone. What do people do when they have nothing to do because there are no jobs?

If there are going to be new migrations, getting in the construction, plumbing, or electrcian industry might not be such a bad idea.
