Exactly. Sooner or later you have to tell people, sorry, I can't help any more. Where that line is probably varies for everyone. That's why I said tough choices would have to be made, and lived with afterwards.

I guess my thought is that once I've done what I can to assure my family's survival, I could look into helping out the local groups that try to prepare for the "hordes" - food pantries, the local Red Cross, the local Salvation Army, etc.
