Having grown up in Northern Arizona (ie as many LDS as Southern Utah), I can assure you they have lots and lots of guns

Just a small history lesson for youze outsiders who think your safe in SLC. They just LOVE outsiders!!

Ok, all in fun, honest. I still have lots of close LDS friends from high school.

They are now the largest private land owner, largest private cattle operation, largest private wheat farm, and I beleive the largest citrus grower in the U.S. They own ALOT of land that produces food. A bushel of wheat will be worth more than a bushel of gold if you are hungry.
Anyone that prepared won't just be prepared for one end of the spectrum. While you can't eat gold, no matter how bad things get, there will eventually (and it really won't take that long) be the need for something that meets the criteria for a medium of exchange (recognizeable, malleable, dividable, portable, non perishable, etc.) I doubt they are too worried about something that's been the undisputed king of universal currency for thousands of years suddenly and permanently going out of style. Not to mention things could get pretty bad but stop short of getting "that bad" in the first place. IOW, it isn't going anywhere in the long run. It can't be all you have, but if you have a lot or anything, you're nuts not to have at least some gold, which is why they and everyone else with "money" always do.

Gold is a hedge as are bonds. Nothing more, nothing less. Lots of gold bugs are going to eat buying in the 1,700s, IMO.

No gold, lots of 7.62 however.

Here's the story of how it got started.

Jeremiah Weed
Uhm... I like it. I just bought a bottle of Weed and a bottle of Jaegermeister last month. I like a glass of either one while I sit at the computer browsing this thread or whatnot. Lasts a while, clears the throat and sinuses, both have odd flavors you start out hating but grow to enjoy as you contemplate W T hel they were thinking when either was first invented. Drambuie should be included with these also.
Similar but not as satisfying are pastis, ouzo, sambuco. Citron.

If I'm not drinking those then I'll be drinking one of 30 single malts or so.

Seriously, if you ever expect you might have a buddy from the old squadron drop in, you should have some Jeremiah Weed to offer. We were supposed to learn that before making it thru RTU, along with a lot of other Bro Code stuff.

Where did you guys hear this, and if it's true then why haven't I? Dang man, buying scotch cheap in Mexico is the only reason I ever set foot in that country! Does this apply to DomRep too?

So what's the story with the AA FA? Usually the tequila at the airport duty free was a good 30% cheaper than in the states. This sucks.

So is it just me or did they figure out this back door trick and lock the schedules page? It looks like the CA awards are out but then when you click on it you get the infamous log in page.
