These "doomsday preppers" that we read about are they crazy, or are they smart for

The Federal Gov't tells us to prepare for a disaster, either natural or man made through their own Federal website. They tell you to prepare for evacuation rendezvous points and excess emergency supplies that can last you months.

All over the world past and present, both man made and natural disasters strike routinely. Yet people who wish to prepare and protect their families from things like supply shortages and even looters are characterized as crazy. The ones who think they're crazy should have sat out on a front stoop in Staten Island in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and seen how long they lasted without a weapon to defend themselves at night. FEMA and law enforcement were no place to be found.

As we all know there is an obvious dispute between doing something and not doing something; i.e. masking and vaccinating. Simple enough, thus there is a question of Liberty with our own views what Liberty is.We formed that from life experience, education, social interaction, and, yes, imposing...

I support the Arizona Immigration Law and I'll gladly tell you why....I've read it. All of it. I've been slammed from every corner for supporting profiling. I always ask my critic, "Have you read the law?" the answer is usually a resounding yes yet, when I ask them...
