So yes, since 2005 we have kept a 3 to 6 month supply of food and basic necessities. We rotate our stock so it is not out of date and we buy when items are on sale. As a retired L.E.O. I also know in times of disaster or civil unrest help may never arrive, and if they do it may be too late. Remember the B.S.O.A. motto "Be prepared." This is predominately a theme in the conservative ranks, progressives wait for help to arrive and someone to feed them.

That makes the point perfectly. All the hoarding can be lost in a heartbeat in a disaster. We’re far better off as a country if we all look out for each other. Did all of the people hoarding TP lately feel better knowing that many people were struggling trying to find some when, in reality, there was enough available for everyone?
