Doomsday Preppers

14. Good comment, XemaSab.

Natural disasters can happen. Some common sense preparation is a good idea.

However, in social disasters, the people who survive the best are people who have friends, neighbors, and family they can rely on for support.

The myth of the lone frontiersman is largely a myth. And, in any case, we don't live in the days of the frontier anymore.

I think it is better to build supportive social networks than it is to try to arm oneself to the teeth with the idea of standing off against all-comers. The human species has many challenges to face in the future. I think we will fare better by learning to stand together, instead of trying to be loners holding off the world.

Groups like City Repair, and people who are teaching Perma-culture...all the many groups who are teaching methods of peacefully working together in a collective fashion...that is the way to security, not shoot outs at the O.k. corral.
