If you are afraid of the end of civilizaion, then you should be accumulating guns, ammunition, water, survival food, water purifaction equiment, seeds, hand tools and maps to where the Mormans live. > And Ebits are even better, you can't even burn them to keep warm.

I knew a clown that thought just like you and put a huge chunk of his money in "precious" metals. It was all stolen and insurance would not cover the theft as he was clever enough to not even tell the insurance compay he had it. But the burglers found it anyway. -- Jim Pennino
