A lot of people seem to think that the laws of nature, which include human nature, no longer apply. Why do they think that? I don't know. Some seem to think that because humans don't walk, they drive fancy cars; or because they don't send handwritten letters on pony express, they email; or because they don't chop wood with axes to heat their houses, they just turn a knob - that humans themselves are more "advanced".

Nothing new under the sun.

The Mormons require their followers to stock up enough for three months, but I believe that the threat of terrorist nuclear attack warrants at least six months worth of supplies and the arms and ammunition needed to defend them.
