We must never forget that history repeats itself though, again, and again, and again, and again. You get the point.
Somehow we think today we live in a different type world, one that is above things of the past. We have great technology, but that's about it. Somehow though, we still repeat the mistakes of old. We think just because something is the way it is right now, that it will be that way forever. Why not be prepared on all fronts. Remember that an armed citizen is much harder to push around than one that is unarmed.
At one time Rome was the most powerful nation on earth, at another time a group of barbarians known as The Huns who seemed to have come from nowhere almost completely concurred the known world. Persia was once a great empire, as well as Greece, the UK, Germany, Russia, Turkey, Egypt, and so on. The only constant we have is change. Change for the better and changer for the worse, but change no doubt.
I know of a man in Northern California is was laughed at by his liberal neighbors as being a dumb right winger for installing a back up generator and having a water storage tank. The one winter when the snow storms came and the power was out, he didn't look so foolish.
There is nothing wrong with being prepared. As the old saying goes I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
I just have to ask, if an intruder breaks into your house and threatens your family, how will you respond? What if the intruder is only carrying a knife, but what if he has a gun?
