Hey, take it easy. The more people who stock up on ANYTHING and try to become more self-reliant make it easier on everyone else. Imagine how differently Katrina would have turned out if more people had been ready to either evacuate or stay put with food and supplies. Insulting people who see a world class storm coming and want to protect their families aren’t OCD, ignorant or anything else you care to call them.

Would you prefer they do nothing and watch their children starve? Some survivalist types literally hate city dwellers and suburbanites. I hope you’re not in that category. Interestingly, I don’t see that same level of venom coming from the city people.

I was commenting that in my youth people who had a two month stash of food weren't considered prepared for anything, they were called HOARDERS, which is a medical disorder.

The BBC article, which perhaps you didn't read, stated that PREPPERS ARE EMBARRESSED TO BE THOUGHT OF AS SURVIVALISTS --- that is absolutely pathetic.

Survivalists will one day be the humans who continue civilization.

DON'T you EVER tell ME what to THINK, thank you --- I have NO interest in a buncha yuppie preppers who are embarressed by serious preparations for TEOTWAWKI.

YOUR opinion is different from mine. YOU are entitled to YOUR opinion.

And you sure ain't gonna tell me that I ain't entitled to mine.

GOOD BYE.
