Well, I don't tweet, don't facebook , don;t even utube, and haven't watched a TV in 12 years or so.
Made a decision back in 68 (after reading Vonnegut's Player Piano) to stay computer illiterate, and have managed to stick pretty darn close to that. Don't feel like I'm missing out on very much.

As for that stock market, my dad told me a real long time ago that the stock market was rigged to separate anyone not connected to an insider from their money. Might take a while, but it will.
Personal experience tells me my dad was a pretty smart guy.
Player Piano. Classic. You don't need it JVC. You've got a little piece of paradise to enjoy from a good rocking chair. That's all any man really needs.
Sometimes the stock market reminds me of casinos minus the whiz bang, uga uga when you get a hit. Gambling is gambling. Anyway, remember the saying "ignorance is bliss"; ignorance is peace is closer to the truth. Like you, for years I cut myself off from anything outside of my immediate reality. The "world" didn't know I existed and I didn't give a fig about it. Days turn into months, months into seasons and so on. You planted, you harvested, come fall and spring you hunted for food(obviously, not vegan). Life had a wonderful rhythm to it and this is the lifestyle we were created to live. This is the lifestyle our central nervous systems were designed for. Life and things change, but this world is not the change I imagined, but it is our collective reality now. Because prayer is an earth shaking, powerful force, believe in it and the One who is able to effect change. Use it. Wield it like the powerful sword it is. I like this site because the posters are thinkers, but rhetoric isn't going to change what's happening in our world now. The evil is too big, too pervasive, too powerful. I don't plan on being on the losing side of these culminating events. As far as the world is concerned I'm just in their words "a useless eater", but there is one who values me as much as His own life, who loves me beyond my ability to comprehend. Who among your friends and family has or will give up their lives so you could live. Someone already has and His name is Jesus, The Great I Am. Nuclear and/or biologic war is on the near horizon. If you really want to prep, prep with Jesus. Your body is just the shell you live in now, but you have a soul that goes on living after you shed this earthly body. Where will the real you live for all eternity? Wrapped in the arms of a loving Savior or in hell with the father of all destruction and lies
