Media generated hysteria II

Hoard food because the sky is falling.

Not "buy in bulk to save money" but instead :

it's time for Americans to start stockpiling food

food riots in parts of the developing world

it will do the same here

I don't know how the food companies can absorb higher costs

rosy memory of a bygone age

So is this "authorized journalist" trying to drive up the value of his stocks? Get attention grabbing headlines to add to his resume? Or is he naive enough to think the US is close enough to an economic and social collapse before the Captain Crunch goes stale?

This kind of yellow journalism is more dangerous to a stable society and the "general welfare" ( a phrase the anti's are using more often as of late) than general ownership of firearms. I think it's time to start licensing journalists with regular tests on ethics and accuracy.
