RE: Why Americans aren't prepared for the next mega-disaster
Anyone who has worked a major disaster will testify that the real strength of any locality is not the government plans. Of necessity they are macro plans and only serve those who must stand in line for the next hand out.
If individuals do what they can to prepare their families, and work a little harder at practicing that age-old great advise "love thy neighbor" recovery from nearly anything is possible. Neighbors can work together and share without that becoming a problem. The day of the disaster is not the day, however, the begin making friends and building bonds.
For those who think their fire stick is going to "save" them, remember that if you are holed up in a defensive position (even a strong one), you may get some (perhaps many) of your assailants, however they have freedom of maneuver and will eventually prevail. Remember what you learned in Advanced Infantry Training. True strength will be found in unity based on correct principles.
Wisdom should be telling any who are not brain dead that we are on the cusp of some rough times. Now is the time to get busy practicing some good old fashion Christian brotherly love. We don't need another bunch of Federal schmucks prattling how they are going to save us if we'll just fork over a few billion (or would that be trillion now.... listen to the little voice that is telling you to prepare...
