I was accused more than once of using that quote more than I should, also I was berated using a quote from a fantasy TV program in relation to a serious subject (prepping).

But when I pointed out the following quote from this news article ( http://news.yahoo.com/exasperation-builds-day-3-storm-stricken-nyc-202314418.html ) to those critics they had no reply.

In darkened neighborhoods, people walked around with miner’s lamps on their foreheads and bicycle lights clipped to shoulder bags and, in at least one case, to a dog’s collar. A Manhattan handyman opened a fire hydrant so people could collect water to flush toilets. “You can clearly tell at the office, or even walking down the street, who has power and who doesn’t,” said Jordan Spiro, who lives in the blackout zone. “New Yorkers may not be known as the friendliest bunch, but take away their ability to shower and communicate and you’ll see how disgruntled they can get.”

Any decent sci-fi has an air of truth to it
