You get the idea. All of this was simply gathered from a Google News search for "preparedness." This just seems kind of out of control to me. I'm just 30 years old, but I have never seen so much propaganda and social engineering regarding all of this in my short life. What has changed? Climate? Terror? Technology? There must be some ulterior motive or agenda being spear-headed here. It could simply be that this is the only industry left in America. Pitching fear and a remedy. The bigger the fear, the more costly the remedy.
