I’m used to being questioned about the necessity of being prepared, and I am used to some friendly, good natured teasing, when one persons idea of being prepared is more or less than another persons, but I am surprised to run into someone who is actually against it, and takes the time on the internet to engage in mockery of such a basic part of human existence and family responsibility.

I should have reversed the names I posted to in post 49, since the post was really directed at Gay State Conservative and was to be read by Kartographer.

It damages their worldview that nothing THAT bad could possibly happen that would require regular people to prepare to that extent. They react out of fear by striking out at those that damage their picture of the world.

Pretty simple. And simple-minded. The 20th century taught us a lot of lessons on just how frigging bad things can get.

I view it in a more fight clubesque perspective.

The first rule of prepping is you do not talk about prepping.
The second rule of prepping is YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT PREPPING!

Outside of my wife and some relatively anonymous blogging I pretty much stick to it.
