[QUOTE="doug5353, post: 2227301, member: 73555"]I am supportive of both points of view, above, but wonder why you would have to leave your house or apartment, provided you can defend it. The bad guys, until they are exterminated, will seek out the easy targets - the elderly, the handicapped, etc., and the military and police are sort of a wild card. I expect trouble, but I do not expect the drastic trouble in pennsteve's scenario. However, at 70 and in poor health, it doesn't matter much - cut off from medications, the food, water, and other necessities will last much longer than the patients - like me. Anyone can trap rain water, and buy 10 cases of canned spaghetti, and 5 cases of peanut butter, and scare intruders away with a good always-legal shotgun, but when the ticker medicine's gone, you're out of options. My coins will survive me, but may not go to the folks I intended. The pain I would feel is for our beautiful country, and its innocents, sold out by xxxxxxxx :stop: Read, if you can find the right anthology, "Primary Education of the Camiroi," written by R. A.
