I know I sound like a broken record here, but I have to come back to the lessons learned from the Katrina experience....
The unspoken big lesson for us in this discussion is that the vast majority of the sheeple has been so conditioned to dependency that, in an emergency situation, the instinct is to ‘herd up’ and mill about squawling for the all-powerful gummint to come save them (geraldo crying, all the way)....
When/if the gummint ‘help’ turns out to be not forthcoming, they will start feeding off of each other, and the bloodletting will be horrendous.
For the most part, the criminal element will stay with the easy pickin’s of the herd, as criminals are, by definition, parasites, and will stay with the host. (I can also envision scenarios where the ‘gangs’ you referred to in some of your earlier posts will fill the vacuum and become the dominant social organizing force in urban areas)
There were, however, a few people in New Orleans that did, indeed, take it upon themselves to find a way to get out on their own (these are the ones that did *not* have their pictures on the ‘news’ stories), and they are the ones that will be least likely to pose a threat.
The upshot of all this is that, should The Day arrive, I’m much more concerned about the vicissitudes of bad luck and natural hazards than I am about the predations of my fellow man... ;~)
Well, Granny, this has been an illuminating - and fun - conversation we’ve had this morning, and I hope to continue it and extend it in the future...
But, now — it’s time for me to head off and make my living, so, for now,
Have a WONDERFUL day!!

I understand how you feel and you are correct, if we were playing with real people, and this were 50 years ago.
Yes, you have to be prepared as you are thinking of pure survival, knowledge is the king.
Yes the world still has good people that will work as a team.
Y2K is one of the best things that has happened to America, it did educate a few people, many who had never thought of survival.
If you are in the right spot, you may well head for the hills and survive for years.
Yes, I see it differently, as I am sitting here for 6 years, looking at what was going on, no I didn’t start on 9-11, on that day my soul died.
You saw what happened in new orleans, the minute the disaster hit, the evil ones were out in full force, they cared not who they killed and stole things that they could not use, for the sheer joy of stealing and killing.
Any disaster, is going to do that, you may not be aware of the mental illness in America, of the calls for violence or suicide attempts, that people are doing, when they can’t get the “meds” that some quack put them on.....
I wish the President would make it a law, that everyone had to listen to their police scanner, so that they knew the truth of what is going on.
It is not just the muslims that people must worry about, it is our worthless youth, that are burning and rioting in San Diego, just as they are in France and other areas.
Did you hear about it? No, not unless you listen to the police and pay attention to the cars that are being burned, the people thrown in going firepits on the beach, which just happened for the second time this month, that I caught.
No, we hear things like this, and it is as I posted it, I did not bother to look at the second page, It was for my Yahoo alert on the TSA department, airport related......
My post on the terror thread, this is breaking news?

[Can you feel my rage? This story appears as 9 of the first 10 links on the TSA search at Yahoo.
How can we be so dumb as to allow the media to make us think this is important?

[I wonder if it was really a weapon, like in long sharp needle for stabbing, think old style hat pin, for stabbing....]

Woman says TSA forced piercings removal Open this result in new window
The Charlotte Observer - Mar 27 4:08 PM
A Texas woman who said she was forced to remove a nipple ring with pliers in order to board an airplane called Thursday for an apology by federal security agents and a civil rights investigation. “I wouldn’t wish this experience upon anyone,” Mandi Hamlin said at a news conference. “My experience with TSA was a nightmare I had to endure. No one deserves to be treated this way.” Hamlin, 37, said ...”<<<
To my thinking, I want to know everything you know and more.
I will worry about my fellow man, as they are too many evil ones, to not worry.
Listen just one night to:
scan san diego.net [scanner #1]
Or is your city here:
http://www.police-scanner.info/live-police-scanners.htm
I stick with san diego most days, as it is a fair example of what happens all over our country, or as much as they publish.
I get about 200 alerts for news, on various subjects a day, so I am all over America and read the same things that I hear on the scanner.
And there is no law that says we have to think about this thing alike, it is more than likely better that we don’t, as you force me to think.
I pray that we never have to use what we are learning.
Over 40 years ago, Readers Digest published one of their little comments and it stuck with me, as I have been there and done that a couple times.
It said:
A recession is when the man next door looses his job.
A depression is when YOU loose your job.
That is about how I feel about the learning for survival.
What does the rest of group think, how do you react to this subject of survival?
Smiling at you.

“after all this is all the fault of President Bush”
I should have used quote marks, as I was speaking the words that I hear the liberals speak, NOT how I feel.
