I guess you're right. People are still unwilling to accept anything can happen to them at any time.

After the blackout one or two summers ago, I though New Yorkers would FINALLY see the light -- pun intended -- and carry maybe Photon Microlights or something. No dice.

Someone wrote an article wherein they asked New Yorkers about the blackout. You know, being prepared and all that. The attitude was, what, me worry? They didn't care and didn't want to. Their response was something to the tune of shrugging and walking away.

Very immature and irresponsible, I think. <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

But then again, I'm cynical, pessimistic, and paranoid. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And prepared. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
