You're smart to plan ahead, but the hard truth is that a good number of us -- those who need insulin or heart drugs or blood pressure drugs, etc -- are simply not going to survive if western civilization collapses.
I've made my peace with it. It's the culling of the herd. I'm no longer young enough or healthy enough to survive such a calamity. So be it.
That being said, stop listening to people like Glenn Beck when he gets freaky about the end of the world. You don't see him canceling his talk show contracts and building and provisioning a bunker somewhere in the mountains. In fact, he seems to hang around the absolute worst places to be when the end of western civilization arrives....
If it were me, I'd agree with you.
But I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about a vibrant 15 year old kid who's looking forward to a wife and a family of his own and who's trusting me to get him there.
In the end, if G-d wants my kid to live, he'll live. I know that. But I also know that G-d helps he who helps himself.
