Sadly, most people are about as interested in preparing for disasters as they are in having life insurance or long-term disability protection. In the 60's the feds decided to leave this up to the professionals because too many people were getting neurotic about the Cold War. Sadly, the jihadi's have made sure that they will no longer allow us that luxury. John…I admire your stick-to-it-ive-ness.
