We just missed having a massive EMP event. Oh well, keep stocking up. [:D]

    I had assumed that an EMP would be a lot like a hand grenade in several respects.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

    We are going to get a bad EMP sooner or later. It wouldn't cost that much to harden electric facilities against it.

    Obama is too worried about George Zimmerman, Bush was too worried about Iraq to mess with it. When it hits it will be a disaster.
