I think that the events of the past few weeks have showed all of us that we are more the "friends and neighbors" than we thought we were last month.<br>For me, I have been through a change that has ended my life in many ways as I knew it before. I would doubt that there are many who don't look at life much differently than we did before. I think that we all need to broaden our concern and awareness to insure our safety in the future.<br>I think that this young mother's description of the events as TEOTWAWKI are not entirely inaccurate. I really think her questions and concerns are at least as valid as anyone's concerns about which pocket they are carrying their pocket knife.<br>We all have concerns and fears, we all have opinions and special interests and knowledge. At this critical time, I think it important that we work together.<br><br>Jeffery S. Anderson, M.D.<br><br>
