It all depends on what's ahead! Bugging out may be the ONLY way to survive for some.

Am I the only one who thought it strange that we now need passports to LEAVE this country? I can understand the crackdown on people coming into this country what with terrorism and all. But why do they want to stop us from leaving this country?

If I had the money and a place to go I would get out now while there may still be a chance to do so. Where? Any place where I couldn't be found but could still ride things out. I don't even know if there is such a place but if I knew of a way to just drop out of society and disappear I would seriously considering doing so.

I don't know how bad things will get or when but in a worse case scenario we could possibly be looking at a situation where there wasn't enough food or resources to support the population of this nation. Do you honestly think they would let EVERYONE starve? What if they decided to weed out some of the undesirables to ensure the survival of a few others? They might start with the elderly or the disabled, ones that they might consider disposable. If that WERE to happen, it's anyone's guess as to how far they'd be willing to go.

Just my opinion! Not saying that things would ever get to that point but I do think it is a possibility.
