ParticipantGandalf, You will be fine. You just have to be thoughtful and not let your emotions override your instinct. I know our ravings sound paranoid. I think watching the people during Katrina was a real eye opener and I have seen government paralyzed during the fires, having sent most of the engines to Lake Arrowhead and farther north. Who did they think was going to fight the fires in San Diego? We were left completely unprotected. I have no faith in government. I respect the work the firefighters do and their bravery, but I have no respect for the huge bureaucracy that takes days to make simple tactical decisions. I think if you plan to take care of yourself and your family for about a week and stay inside and wait out the worst case scenario, be it a man made disaster or a natural, then you will probably be fine. Those who did not plan ahead and cannot survive on what they have in the house, could easily become victims.

ParticipantPup- I think the small farm sounds nice. I know you are smart and a superb survivor. I hope you have some like minded people on your side because as we all know, you have to sleep some time. In the meantime, don’t leave behind your books including poetry: “Open still remaineth a free life for great souls. Verily, he who possesseth little is so much the less possessed: blessed be moderate poverty!”
“There, where the state ceaseth–there only commenceth the man who is not superfluous: there commenceth the song of the necessary ones, the single and irreplaceable melody.”
“There, where the state CEASETH–pray look thither, my brethren! Do ye not see it, the rainbow and the bridges of the Superman?–”
Thus spake Zarathustra.

ParticipantThat’s okay, Gandalf I still like you because you are a good husband. I respect Arraya’s views, too. They are very consistent and very well researched. You should not worry so much when I joke about liberals. They are almost as fun to watch as the conservatives. I am more concerned about the encroaching power of government in the very marrow of our lives and that is no joking matter. “The State, that is the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly, also, it lies, and the lie that creeps from its mouth is this: “I, the State, am the People.”
[Nietzsche]This is what worries me the most, more than who is the President and who runs Congress. It is the prevailing political philosophy that is the most worrisome for me.
