The breakdown of society can happen in many ways, without war or possibly a limited war. Sure its being paranoid that the US economy will colapse; meanwhile the dollar continues to plummet. Precious metals will be your best friend if a depression ever occurs again. Is ther a line between complacency and paranoia? We were hit on 9/11 and it was a jarring experience for everyone. However, we have not and hopfully will not experience something that jolts the very foundation we stand on.
Perhaps if there were a full scale nuclear war, life would not be worth struggling to hold to. What about another 1918 Influenza outbreak? What if OPEC decides to switch to the Euro? What if China decides to stop floating the US. Its kind of funny when people say China is making money from the US, and implying all the paper tender with a debt already attached to is going to gain value.
You cant go wrong with precious metals.
