These urban yuppie "preppers" who've accumulated a couple months supply of food, and are embarressed, lest anybody think that they are survivalists -- they are simply hoarding food, a common practice amongst a certain population of clinically OCD.
Mormonism has nothing to do with OCD, and certainly most reasonable aedults would NOT be embarressed to be referred to as a "survivalist."
We are good for about 6 months.
Hey, take it easy. The more people who stock up on ANYTHING and try to become more self-reliant make it easier on everyone else. Imagine how differently Katrina would have turned out if more people had been ready to either evacuate or stay put with food and supplies. Insulting people who see a world class storm coming and want to protect their families aren’t OCD, ignorant or anything else you care to call them.
Would you prefer they do nothing and watch their children starve? Some survivalist types literally hate city dwellers and suburbanites. I hope you’re not in that category. Interestingly, I don’t see that same level of venom coming from the city people.
