Reply #92: Under this administration, [View All]

it is better to be prepared for the WORST than to just blindly trust that everything will turn out OK.
There are always lazy, shallow assholes that tend to gloat when someone's preparations turn out to be unnecessary.

I grew up in New Orleans. Every year, when threatened by hurricanes, some of the more careful people would pack up their families and move inland until the storm passed. Those of us who stayed behind would laugh and gloat and feel superior to the ones who were more cautions, just like the OP is attempting in this thread.
No one is laughing in New Orleans now.

With the Corporations and the NeoCons in power, it is wise to speculate on "the worst that can happen" and take reasonable precautions.
On an open discussion board, there are those who will fall on the extreme edge. The OP sounds like Fox News as she uses "some" from the extreme to broad brush an entire philosophy.

Many "Dire Predictions" have come true.
In 2005, I predicted that even if the Democrats achieved a Majority in Congress, nothing significant would change due to the infiltration of Republicans(DLC) into the Democratic Party.
I was called a Freeper, fringe leftist, extremist, and a hater of Democrats.
