You are leaving out the essential element. Seriously, do you not see the righteous concern people have. Horde-away for all I care. To me, for its own sake hoarding is mental. GOVERNMENT dictates are not imaginary. They are elemental to our daily lives. The Constitution tells us what the Government can not do to us: period. This is no longer the case. People are rightfully concerned about what the govt. will do. The BP community To me, has a social interest in all this hubbub. Firstly, the historical aspect that can date back to the founding. Secondly there is the intellectual, and participatory aspect that draws me, at least closer to the time when our country began. Hoarding is buying. Buying means production. So far, silly but we can live with that. Overreaching government is something we can not live well with. SO, now we are back to the original, defiant use of muzzle loaders, and BP. That we are back to that my friend, is scary.
