Some people react to disaster scenarios by simply refusing to believe it could happen to them. They feel if they allow themselves to think it could happen to them, it will.

It's like the young woman who was interviewed after the last power outage in the northeast: If you prepare for it, it's like admitting that it could happen again.

Some theorize that people raised on a heavy diet of television think that all problems will be solved within 30 or 60 minutes (with time deducted for commercials).

You can't do more than just keep trying.
