[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 473978, member: 135"] If I hear there is a nuclear attack coming, I'll probably go out and stand in the yard with a target on my head. I really don't think I'd want to survive that one. Offut Air Base would be a prime target so I guess I don't have to worry; I'd probably be close enough that it would get me. I do like the idea of being prepared for emergencies because, no matter what, stuff happens. All of the agencies and books and other stuff have lulled people (in my opinion) into a false sense of security: just do all of this stuff, buy all of this stuff, prepare all of this stuff, etc. and you'll be OK. History does not bear that out. We live in an uncertain, unsafe world and SOMETHING is going to get you in the end. Being born is a terminal disease. You are going to die. I choose to be reasonably prepared and then not worry about it. I go where I want to go, do what I want to do, etc. If I am exterminated, at least I'll be able to say I enjoyed myself while I was here. Usually, if you worry about something it never happens. Something that you never thought of is what finally comes to bite you in the behind. [/QUOTE]
