I guess it depends till what?
Irreversible damage 2-4 years
economic collapse 8 years
if you look at the time line for Chavez to go from newly elected prez to citizens starving and being run down by armored vehicles and shot in the streets was what about 15-17 years My dad says 10 years -- I told him that we wouldn't make 5 years. Take it for what its worth. sounds like we're in the same ball park.

Don't be so pessimistic. We have until the next big asteroid strikes.
Jim That's fine... But me and everyone else (with a pulse) would like to continue living our lives as we see fit until the big rock shows up. Mike

We've been sliding down this slope for sixty years. By now we're well past the PNR. There's no reversing it. It's the Tytler cycle. Same as every other civilization has gone through.
Reagan talked about the world suffering under a "Thousand Years of Darkness" when America falls. Interestingly enough, the last time Judeo/Christian Greco/Roman Western European Civilization (aka Liberty) fell, the world actually did suffer under a thousand years of poverty, misery, robbery, rape, slavery and death (aka Tyranny). We still call it "The Dark Ages" centuries later.
Oh and by the way, we're headed into an Ice Age.

How long do we have,......
All the time in the world, go out and live! Doomsday prophets chase your comets wearing Nikes, drink your koolaid, but me I'll still live life and try to change what I don't like. Between now and solving the great mystery I'll do the best I can being happy.

Jim no doubt life will go on probably even after an asteroid strike just not everywhere I don't think the question is will life on earth cease more of a question will there be a free man left to enjoy it and how many and to what degree. but I think this question was more directed at a single nation states status of free men
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

In Norse mythology, Ragnarök is a series of events, including a great battle, foretold to lead to the death of a number of great figures, natural disasters and the submersion of the world in water. After these events, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and returning gods will meet and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors. I hope myself and a hottie are the two....... Just our luck it will probly be Lefty and Bendy.

Slavery, degradation of women also flourished in the muzzy world. Funny how you praise the muzzies but if those same things happened here you would condemn anyone involved. Anyway, factually.....during the dark age the muzzy world was not a bed of roses, but that's reality something which you never embrace.

in two years it may not be legal to carry a full sized pistol anywhere in the USA. would be nice to see a significant change in two years but that is a very far fetched dream.

It will still be legal so far as I am concerned. I am a free man. It is my natural right to bear arms for the defense of my family, of my property, of myself, or anybody else where eminent harm is about to or is happening. Been carrying since 81 and havn't asked anybody for permission yet
