“Plus, if (when) it hits the fan, we would have a support system to get thru it.”
Excellent point! ;=)
My brother in law and I have a survival pact. We will pool resources. Oddly, he is a looney lefty, and I do mean LOONEY. Air America and the whole bit. But he is a Marine Iraq vet, and does have sidearms and rations. Paranoia can be good.
I think pooling resources on a wider scale would be very beneficial.
