Could this be the way we are in 2012?

As Obama and his administration headed by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and others continue to assault the coal industry, new nuclear energy plants, carbon-credits and allowing the EPA to be the villains in their plans, we will see an older and proven energy source emerge.   People of knowledge will say “No More” and begin to cut the trees, burning them in fireplaces to heat their homes and cook their food, as they will not be able to afford the energy cost. Those that do this will add billions of pounds of Greenhouse gasses to our atmosphere causing global warming as there will be very few trees to soak up the CO2.  Man, in his need for warmth has found fire to be a very good source yet dangerous to use in homes yet will need to do so to survive.  We will see the fireplace being the replacement for television and other forms of entertainment that uses electricity.  Men, women, and children will sit by the fire and read books, fine books that have been around for hundreds of years.  Children will learn respect for their parents as they scrimp and save to buy bread, milk and other necessary items.  They will have no cell phones, no cars to run around town in.  They will walk to the store that just might have what they need and if not you will begin to see the homeowner even going back further into the roots of history by having a cow in the back yard, possibly two, one for milk and the other meat, learning the old forgotten technique of smoking meat or salt packing meat for future use. They will begin to trade with their neighbors the items they can’t grow.  Trading milk and meat for vegetables or fruit and yes they will be armed, as they know there will be those that want a share of the fruits of their labor.  Those that will not do for themselves or don’t want to learn, those that have been given everything to them by a government that is now gone will be on the hunt for food and water and will go to any extreme to take it from those that have. There will be killings far beyond the wild west of the seventeen and eighteen hundreds.  People will live in fear of others like they have never been since the beginning of the United States.  There will be no police just a bunch of thugs that call themselves the police trying to take from those that have to give to those that don’t, something very similar to what is currently happening but in a very different way.

Yes, it can happen and with the world events now taking place along with what our government is now doing, it will not be too long before you see the beginning of this.  It will start with a number of people not being able to pay their power bills.  Then food prices will increase dramatically.  Gasoline prices will be beyond the ability of many to even think about purchasing.  Business will fail and many people will be out of jobs and have no money.  The large Agro-Farms will be unable to get pesticides and fertilizers to grow the large amounts of food they are currently doing so they will cut back on production. With Carbon Cap and Trade many companies will just shut their doors being unable to produce metals, glass and other containers to pack fruits and vegetables.  Railroads and trucking companies will be unable to get any products to ship back and forth across the US.  The individuals will become the collective in many areas creating new cities, armed cities to prevent the marauders from taking their food and clean water.

Do we want this to happen or do we want the change that was promised.
