If people were honest about their fears, wouldn't they be buying guns and ammo?

I read the paper and listen to the radio.
There is all of this talk and speculation that the US is about to collapse, that the dollar will become worthless, that the “world as we know it” is going to end.

So, the strategy seems to be take money out of the stock market, get into cash or buy CDs, or else buy gold.

But if the “world ends” none of that stuff will matter anyway.

If the “world ends” the only thing that will help you is a gun and some ammo.

But only a few lunatics talk that way. Most people just talk about cash and gold.

So, obviously, the people who imagine that the “world” is about to “end” are not really being honest. They are talking a certain talk, but not walking the walk.

What is that all about?
