I read the entire book and I recommend it highly for you guys to so!
It provided much sobering thought how a simple weapon can wreck such civilization as we know it!
And that weapon exists today!
Think about it!
I had a discussion with a guy I used to work with (well educated, liberal) about the importance of being a “prepper.”
He couldn’t understand why. I used the example of the electrical grid completely shutting down, grocery store refrigeration being down, hospitals with no electricity. I said it would be a survival situation, you’d need protection and food and water.
He said, no, no, no, because we are all so interdependent, we will all come together and we’d get over such a situation in no time.
All I could think was Katrina, though I didn’t bring it up.
I was amazed at the core difference between those who depend upon and look toward various forms of Collectivism for their survival and those who rely on themselves.
