[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 267005, member: 84"] Family/friends always do that to me. I don't think I'm a pessimist either, really. Just more realistic and aware of the true horrors my fellow human beings are capable of doing to themselves and to others. My main thought track is to protect those I care about. Remember Y2K? I had a 6 month supply of food and bottled water stored up, plus husband and I had stocked up on lanterns and the like for survival without power. Ok, so no it didn't happen. But we had no way of knowing it [B]wasn't[/B] going to happen, and I wasn't going to get caught with my pants down when I had 3 kids to worry about. I always find the nearest exit. I'm always aware (even if on a subconscious level) of who is around me. And I always listen to my instincts which are pretty darn accurate. And if not.....well, better to be embarrassed than dead or worse, huh? sister in law called and asked if he could give me a gun. I was tempted. But said no, not yet. Travis is still here......and that is a danger. So far the Travis factor isn't outwieghed by what I see around me. Told him when it is, I'll be asking for that gun. And I'm one hellova shot. Society has a dangerous tendency to think "it'll never happen to me". I can be optomistic. Each new child born brings with it the promise of Hope and a better world. But it's tempered with a healthy dose of reality. Uh........maybe I am a pessimist afterall.:knockedout: [/QUOTE]
