Prep Is Key

New Orleans, Haiti, and now Japan. Once natural disaster strikes, it seems as if we're never totally prepared. So how prepared are we?

At www.townhall.com Hugh Hewitt explains our focus. First, he begins with offering links to different organizations, like Team Rubicon, who are accepting donations for Japan's emergency relief fund. Second, Hewitt attacks our government and media, and their priorities. Every time you turn on the news, it's something about Wisconsin's Union battles, or California's tax hikes. Where's our sense of priority? The evidence is clear and inevitable. The world is a never ending time bomb, due to change dealing in natural evolution. It is very likely that the U.S. will unfortunately suffer another disaster. His guess is California. With their current economic misfortune, would they be prepared to absorb "The Big One?"

Though Hewitt thrives on a conservative standpoint, his argument seem to be coming from a neutral stand. This isn't about right or left, it's about people. It's about humanity. Forget the "regular" problems of the day and focus on "real." Our economy can be going down the drain, but at the end of the day, if we can't protect ourselves from natural disasters, then Everything else is pointless. What good is an  economy, if there aren't any people to fail,  or thrive in it?
