"I have yet to see anyone plop down a box of .22 for a Happy Meal."

Obviously you have not lived through the aftermath of a Hurricane where there is no water, electricity, credit card ATM's or grocery stores open for a month. I have on 3 occassions and on the last one to hit here in the Houston, Texas area the National Gaurd and every local government agency was busting their chops 2 days after the storm passed trying to get MRE's and ice out to certain parts of the city (Sheila Jackson Lee's District) to stop rioting and looting. Our modern society expects Uncle Sam to come to their rescue at a moment's notice and on occassion it just doesn't happen. Some have lived a blessed life and never expect there to be any shortage of anything at any time.
