 Just a few years ago, when I would warn people that there are some very dark, difficult days ahead for our country, a few people would agree with my concern, but many others would let me know that they thought I was just being pessimistic, a prophet of doom. But now, whenever I warn people to prepare themselves because we're on the verge of great calamity, I rarely meet anybody who doesn't agree with me. All you have to do is pay attention to the news to see that some horrible things are closing in on us.
