[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 473409, member: 3419"] Medication would be a REAL issue. Lisa, I, being Pollyanna of course, think that it's just the media not being original. Hollywood, for instance, rarely comes out with-original stories and screenplays, preferring to remake everything (aka moneymakers) 16X, from Superman to Jane Eyre. Magazines do it, too. It is no coincidence that the top interior decorating/home interior magazines all come out with-the same color schemes, same home tours and virtually identical stories every month. Sometimes they are in cooperation, others use corporate spies. Same thing with-ladies' magazines. That's my take on it. However, you do not have to be paranoid, just practical, to always keep extras on hand in case of disaster, be it tornado, hurricane, earthquake or nuclear fallout. Water, soap, canned goods, batteries, flashlights, candles, matches are all good things to have around. (by the way, water goes bad after a few mo's so it's a good idea to use it up and start over.) I also believe that it is important for people to learn to do things by hand and not be totally specialized or rely totally on technology. It wouldn't hurt if we all knew how to sew, (at least, to repair rips), grow tomatoes and other vegetable, herbs and fruits, to fish and hunt if necessary. I like Thomas Jefferson's philosophy that every man should have a garden and be able to provide for himself, no matter his lot in life. But that's just me. [/QUOTE]
