You will not starve in 3 days. We have to all start to think for ourselves and work on a more grass root level. This is why the Rightwing nutjobs have fuel to feed their fire. I was a libertarian in the 70's before it was cool when the movement was more about personal and social responsibility not a political movement.
Big L is a system won't work on a national level but is something I believe we can foster within our communities. The more unreliant you make yourself, the more you can help those around you that don't have the skills or resources.

How many of you know how to make a composting toilet or how to dispose of your waste so not to endanger others , passive heating or how to clean your water without boiling.
Just think how cool it would be to have a cookout in the middle of your street with the food that is thawing in your fridge on a solar cooker for a neighborhood party.
I want the resources spent making the streets safe, restoring power, finding and helping the injured, traped and dead.

On NPR there was a story about the great people who climbed tall dark stairwells to feed the shut ins and it only now occurred to me why hasn't someone else in that 25 floor building offered to run the steps so the volunteers are able to help everyone who needs it.

Sorry for the rant,
