“Are You Prepared for a Disaster?”

[I Buried My Guns]

Nothing wrong with being prepared.

Also, being prepared does not make a person a survivalist. New terms are necessary.

“Art Markman, a cognitive psychologist, says he’s not surprised by the reaction to the nation’s financial woes — even though it may seem irrational.”

Irrational to a university-trained psychologist, perhaps. If he knocks on my door asking to borrow a candle or two, I’ll ask him how irrational he feels. A financial crisis will have some of the features of a Cat 5 hurricane. IAs for other issues there were empty shelves for some products during the LA Riots in the ‘90s.
