Hey, Quix..

I've been far from "passive". Read some of my previous threads..I'm probably one of the most prepared people I know, with appropriate food/water/gas stocks, plans, etc. (How many people do you know who have a "to go" bag packed with KI4U, grain, portable water, light, blankets, heat, etc)? Probably not many!

I'm one of the ones who believes that ANYTHING is possible. Most of my friends (and probably my wife) think I'm a bit "cracked" on all this.

Also - I think it's not only possible, but quite likely that the bad guys have WMD. Proliferation is totally out of control, esp. with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Libya, Iran, N. Korea, etc. It's a helluva mess, and a real problem to us with our WIDE OPEN borders (insane, if you ask me..)

I just am of the opinion that those who DO are not going to be messing with us on the 'net. The "real" terrorists are just going to use them - when they want to. And I don't think we're going to get warned by "EOM", "Daleel", etc first. I also think that many of the "analysis" sites are self-promoting (although I can't figure out what they hope to accomplish - is it $$s?) That's the difference.

Just MHO!

Peace..

THANKS.

I don't THINK I was thinking of you at the time I wrote that. I was thinking more of a to common generic knee jerk skepticism which seems, too often to me, have too many flavors of a head in the sand level of denial and passivity or at least smugness.

Probably some phrase or other in your post triggered that response. I haven't followed individual postings and don't keep those levels of details in my head enough to really know which side of whatever fence you were REALLY on.

Still, to whatever degree I may have been thinking of you specifically, am delighted to read I was wrong.

Thanks.

Hopefully there are more folks than you realize that are as prepared. My husband and I have "bags" that are similar to what you described in both vehicles. We have large stocks of supplies, medicine, etc., etc., at home. Ours is not so much "to go" as "to stay" as we live in a very rural area. I would also add that IMO any good preparation should include guns and ammo. No, we are not some sort of "survivalist loons". Just regular folks that prefer to stay aware of current world events and consider all possibilities, prepare, and then go on with our lives.

I would hope that people would realize that being prepared in this manner is not just because of 9/11, or ME terrorists, or Feb. 2. There is still the threat of wacko N. Korea, among others. Nothing wrong with being prepared. If you never need the supplies in your lifetime than you have had a blessed and peaceful life. But, if you do need them...

Re: To Go Bag, (Warning)............

J. if your blanket is one of those silver, space, light weight things, then I must warn you that it is ALIVE.

I must have taken the Cats all night to KILL mine.

But, they did accomplish their mission and come morning, it was in pieces that were less than a foot square.

It was cold and it had arrived in the mail and so I "tried it out", got late and I thought to put it back in its pouch the next day.

I will always wonder what the battle cry was?
