An Oprah segment on preparedness surely would have a big impact.

And spawn a huge boost in sales for any product she plugged.

Her endorsement of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" sold a lot of those books so she has some recent immersion in the most dire scenario.

Someone noted earlier in this discussion that America had a large-scale preparedness effort during the Cold War.

What was that "duck-and-cover" turtle's name?
