[I Buried My Guns]

I have had conversations with friends/acquaintances wherein I try to get them to take responsibility for themselves and think about long-term survival plans. Nothing extreme, just stocking up on canned food, and buying a few boxes of ammo, rather than buying that new Harley Davidson.

To a man they scoff at any of it, as if to prep is top be a loser, and to live for the day, like their peers, is to "WIN". A few even make the cocky and arrogant comment that when TSHTF, they'll just come over to my house, because they know I am a kook who plans ahead and has food stored up. They are taken aback when I tell them that anyone who tries to get into my house ininvited will water my lawn with their blood, and any females who live will be bartered away into sexual slavery for supplies and ammo.

I have lost a few fairweather friends because of this, but maybe in the long run it will snap them out of their apathy. The thing is, though I may like tyhem as friends, I have zero moral mandate to look after those who refuse to look after themselves. "Some Christian you are" one said, only to be informed that the Bible is not a suicide pact. God commands you to take care of your responsibilites, and if you refuse to do that, you'd best begin praying to the FEMA god.
