It is against the law to be the little red hen or the hard working ant...
We are living in the animal farm of the lazy grasshoppers...
How is it selfish to be storing food and medicine for an emergency? I have to be storing it for my entire community, otherwise not at all?
This author seems more like a liberal do-gooder to me. And makes no sense.
Whether I prep because there might be an earthquake or financial collapse, the end result is the same. I’m ready, no matter what scenario plays out.
This is PURE CYA
She probably will never actually tell us what is selfish about preparing for troubled times.
She’s right on target.
Yea, just like there's a difference between a storm and a tempest. *rollseyes*
Second Civil War File.
Hahahha, this woman is a commie/thug/thief If I’ve ever read/heard one.
I read the entire thing, all comments, etc.
She wouldn’t bat an eye to jack your well planned supplies to give to thugs and idiots.
Also, she even admits in one post that “of course I’ll be taken care of, I have a government post to help other losers” (paraphrased).
I mean, these people really do think we are stupid like their followers.
I think the real mind blow for people like her is that there are so many people not so stupid as to buy into her commie crap hook line and sinker.
Phsaw!
And I hate this “old-white-angry man” meme (tangent). I’m white and 30 (hardly old), and not really “Angry” so much as terribly disappointed in my fellow countrymen.
This country simply can’t survive united, it gets clearer every day.
WHY does everyone insist on sticking together? What is in it for each group?
We can be separate and still engage in trade and resource mixing, just like we do with China, now.
bleh.
Bring on the calamity!
Hmmm...
Preparations for a social collapse or disaster: non-perishable foodstuffs, water (and water purification equipment), medications and bandages, firearms and ammunition, firewood and facilities to use it for heating and cooking, . . .
Preparations for doomsday: rightly confessing faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ, baptism and chrismation, repentance and confession of sins, prayer, fasting, vigils, frequent reception of the Holy Mysteries, . . .
“Valerie Lucus-McEwen”
I live by the rule “Never trust a woman with a hyphenated name”. It’s never steered me wrong either.
The book may be a work of fiction, but the premise is not that far fetched. Today, astronomers are aware of a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) labeled 2012 DA14 which will miss the earth by less than 25,000 miles or approximately one tenth of the distance between the earth and the moon. Granted, this PHA is not a comet and is a rather small asteroid measuring about 60 yards wide. If it were to hit the earth the impact would be equivalent to a 2.4 megaton nuclear bomb. The resulting crater could be about a mile wide and 500 feet deep. The date of the upcoming close encounter is February 15, 2013. Hypothetically speaking, what is the possibility that if it were to hit the earth, scientists would have the faintest idea exactly where or when the impact would occur? Even if they knew (or guessed) the location of ground zero, what are the odds the local or federal governments would have any ability to prepare for the event or react to the devastation after the fact? I'm not confident.
“Pretty much misunderstood what I was saying”
Anymore when I read those words, whether from Zero, Costas or whomever, my first thought is, now there’s some great rhetoric: “You were too stupid to comprehend my meaning.”
what the hell is it her concern why people plan for whatever level of problem they think could occur?
not everyone preps for the same reasons, and not everyone plans as long or as detailed as’others. you do what you can, you plan for what you feel you need to, and if you want to keep going, you do.
