Your sentiments are perfectly reasonable, and I for one find no fault with them.
However,the constant subject of the article under discussion is the advent of something on the order of an apocalyse rather than a hurricane, a house fire as one poster sarcastically alluded to, or perhaps a war fought in another country.
With a hurricane for instance, one may reasonably expect to recover since the rest of the nation is intact and able to send help. But an apocalypse speaks of wholesale devastation with no expectation of help from a neighboring state.
It is on the basis of an apocalyptic scenario that my observations rest.
“It is on the basis of an apocalyptic scenario that my observations rest.”
Still doesn’t make any sense. I am not the government, nor am I responsible for everyone else. Charity is one thing but sacrificing my family to help someone else isn’t moral.
Each and every person has an individual responsibility to care for themselves.
In response to your thoughtful reply, may I inject a chilling, but perhaps unavoidable thought?
Perhaps, it may be that Paul Johnson was correct when he said that if the American experiment in self government failed, that which would come afterward would be unspeakably worse.
And, “Unspeakable” squats in the White Hut as I type.
Another thought: “The survivors will envy the dead”.
That will be assured if the survivors are unable to force the acceptance of basic civilization upon the Ferals.
