 JE>      My greatest fear is the crazies that will most likely be
 JE> running around.

    Those crazies will be running around for a short time.  First of all let's
realize that the crazies are going to be marauding bands of people that are
seeking food, weapons and other life giving supplies.  They are not going to be
all that smart or trained.  If they were they would have seen the handwriting on
the wall and made some provisions for the coming storm.  Another thing to
remember is marauding bands are not object oriented like a military unit.  They
are opportunistic anarchists and as such will not spend much investment in life
or effort to obtain an objective.  They will not spend much time trying to
obtain a well defended objective.  They will simply figure that they will get
back to it one day.  Of course most marauding bands will be extinct in a month
or so due to "in-fighting", competition, and just plain ignorance of the art of
survival.  Holding off such bands should not be all that difficult.  Their
weapons willl be for the most part not maintained well, their training with such
weapons will be almost non-existant, and their understanding of the "big
picture" will be nil.

   If it seems that I have no respect for these crazies let me assure you I have
respect for any armed person coming up against me.  I just feel that superior
training, attitude, knowledge, and faith in God will prevail.  Not in every case
as there are exceptions and probabilities are fickle at best,  but for the most
part I will put my money on the trained individual with foresight and a reason
to survive other than getting more batteries for their CD player.


    Watch and learn.....
