I’ve been trying to tell people that things are way worse than the media is telling them. I barely get any details stated before someone scoffs at what I am saying. While that reaction is usually from someone who supports Obummer, it is surprising how many conservatives don’t have a clue either. I can’t think of more than a couple of people who would even listen to any “survival” ideas. Most people would react as if I were relating a tale of getting kidnapped by aliens. They are of course the very people who would come to steal what I have if things get really bad which is why I don’t try to warn them on that level. It’s an exercise in futility anyway.

From my experience, most people do not like to face a harsh reality. They prefer to create a “false security” in which to sooth their anxieties.

Circle of friends The importance of other people in our preparedness plans The best prepared can be forced into dependency. All you have to do is look at the homeowners of New Orleans who were adequately stocked and ready to stay and protect their houses when Hurricane Katrina struck. How many of them were driven out by floodwaters or forced to leave everything behind by the "I'm from the government and I'll help you whether you want help or not" crowd? Many went from being prepared to being vulnerable refugees at the point of a gun—and they couldn't shoot back because the raiding gunmen wore badges.
