admirable trait of self-sufficiency and call them nutjobs because it requires cooperation?
I love it when people write one sentence contradictory statements. Just a hint, self-sufficiency is the antithesis of cooperation.

By that logic, shouldn't the nutjobs be those who aren't already doing their part to prepare?
Ah, when the conversation revolves around hoarding thousands of rounds of ammunition to protect your stash from the anticipated hoards of fellow citizens, as is usually the tenor of these conversations, my answer is no.

Do you think it's fema's business to solely be a reactionary entity, or to prepare for catastrophic events THEN react?
Liberals want everybody to be dependent on the gov'mint.
People who strive to be self sufficent and independent are a threat to the left and the power they want.
There's as many republicans that are "dependent" on the government as democrats (aka appalachia, etc.). The difference is republicans cry and moan about it while they deposit their govn'mint checks...it's called hypocrisy.
Liberals want everybody to be dependent on the gov'mint.
Then why does the gov'mint here in ultra-liberal San Francisco encourage people to store supplies so they won't be dependent on the gov'mint after a natural disaster?
With communist spreading like wild fire we must be prepared.
I rest my case.
At some point after the apocalypse future researchers will stumble upon these isolated archeological sites buried in the ground where they will find the remains of some preper surrounded by their thousands of rounds of ammunition and a bunch of rotting cans of food, who further study found died of some simple ailment that could have been treated a few miles down the road by the doctor who had banded together with other survivors who had shared not only their stuff but their knowledge to reform society.
Because most people who seriously prepare for a "doomsday" event are doing so out of a fear of something stupid. Like, a fear of Obama coming to take away your guns, or martial law, or 2012 prophecies, or the second coming of Christ, etc.
I rest my case
