   BK>>  Very valid questions, which won't get answered, and they will  just   
   BK>> write you off as a trivial nuisance. Me also.   
      
    RW> Agreed, has been done, seen it personally.  That's why the   
    RW> more noise someone makes about how they're altogether "with   
    RW> me' and going to "improve my life" I'm very distrustful.   
      
    If they agree with me, let them follow me. To "improve my life",   
    just make it better for the working class in general.   
      
    My daddy died years ago, and my mother isn't careing for me any   
    more, I have to take care of my self, I don't need a patron to   
    do that for me. I do need fairness and justice.   
      
    ...   
      
   BK>>  Like I said, any group that keeps secrets of their basic beliefs   
   BK>> is a group I can't accept.   
      
    RW> YOu and me both.  This is a group that did quite a bit of   
    RW> pick up and resettle, and everywhere they went they cried   
    RW> persecution at the hands of the locals.   
      
    ...   
      
    RW>>> Again we would agree. IT's where the two meet in the   
    RW>>> middle. i tell folks prepare for 7 days of "on your own"   
    RW>>> after a disaster.   
      
   BK>>>  That is a very good standard. More won't hurt, less just might.   
   >   
   BK>>  True on all points. I just read a local advice bit about three   
   BK>> days prepardness. That would cover almost anything that would go   
   BK>> wrong short of a major national disaster. Anything local,   
   BK>>  tornado, hurricane, blizzard, and such help would be there in 3   
   BK>> days. Unless we have a republican president and you live in a   
   BK>> democratic district. Then maybe a week.   
      
    RW>   DOn't even get me started on Katrina.  So much   
    RW> ineptitude in one place don't think I'd ever seen before.   
    RW> Still imho three days isn't enough, you need to plan for   
    RW> seven.   
      
    The three days is just for a local disaster. It is very likely   
    you could move out within three days. Seven days would be for   
    being well cut off, or major disaster. We had the 5 state   
    blackout a few years back, where electricity was off for days   
    for many. Couldn't even go to a restaurant, as everybody was   
    down.   
      
    OTOH, could go to relatives in another state that did have   
    power.   
      
    Major blizzard, like '78, and you're snowed in for three days,   
    you can't go anywhere. OTOH, we didn't lose electricity.
