Though American consumers face economic uncertainty and precarious income and spending environments we must persevere and remain optimistic. As fear builds the natural tendency is to panic, remove money from stock markets, cease spending and shore up our resources against the dangers of a plunging Dow. The solution is not accomplished through evacuation and retreat. We must exercise our duty as American consumers and buy knives both to stimulate the economy and to ensure that if the moment arrives when we must defend our families, property and land, we will be ready.
