Those of us who believe in self reliance will have an opportunity to demonstrate why we have chosen this as our personal philosophy. I think most conservatives will do fine.

I agree. Nevertheless, I think I'm going to start buying MREs to keep in case of emergency. Of course, that's probably a good idea for me anyway seeing how I live uncomfortably close to a fault-line.

Buy some MREs because they are quite portable, but otherwise spend some money buying dry beans, rice, dried onions and seasonings. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to have some basic protein in the house.
