My personal creed ...
I'll give up my shelter to a person in need
because I can make another one.
I'll give up my last drink of water to someone
in need because I can find more water.
I'll hand out my last meal to someone in need
because I know how to get more food.
I'll happily teach them how to do the same,
when they are obviously in need of knowledge.

My personal creed...
In light of all the catastrophic events of the past few years, if you are too freakin' stupid to prepare for yourself and your family...don't come whining to me when TSHTF.
Ok, I probably wouldn't really be like that, but people who lack responsibility (FEMA, George Bush, God will take care of me) really honk me off. It is not MY job to take care of the huddled masses of those in denial. When did we all become so helpless?
