[QUOTE="Logar, post: 1601019, member: 31166"] In the end be certain you control at least a small piece of land or someday you or a family member will go hungry. A man I served with in the middle east lives on what used to be a small cattle ranch in Venezuela. He had about 150 head of beef cattle on that place. One day several thousand people over ran his place, killed every animal on the land and carted off all the meat. He could not stop it and the authorities did not care. It took less than an afternoon and he was wiped out. Now he keeps some chickens in the basement and grows a small garden - and THAT is how he and his wife eat today. His kids have all left the country via walking - once well off, they are now refugees in another country. Once a respected rancher and ex-military guy, he lives in poverty today. And people think it cannot happen to them. [/QUOTE]
