I'm feeling especially pessimistic on this beautiful spring day. I just read a piece that had zombie prostitutes from outer space and I feel so vulnerable! I tried to change the vibe by checking out a juice emporium's web site (spring cleaning, ya know) and lo and behold a brother had a treatise on preparedness on his website.
Dude started in on what to eat in an emergency and all I could think of was crazy folks with guns stealing my food and emptying my gas tank. You see, I'm a non-violent kind of gal that would rather eat nuts and berries, but what if all there was left were the squirrels and chipmunks in my back yard?
I don't own a gun and I don't want one, because the only reason to have one is to kill something and that ain't my vibe. However, I do have a right nice machete. Maybe I can learn to get down with a compound bow if I need to kill a deer or two.
I'm just saying . . . Are you ready for a coming apocalypse? What would you do? How would you react? Are you in an urban or suburban area? Do you hunt? Are you an avid viewer of Survivorman on cable (gotta love Les Stroud)? Could you survive without supermarket vittles? What about water? What about your neighbors? Are you making any plans? Do you think black folk will be left in the lurch if something happens in Amerika?
I'm researching for an alternative history/dystopian future story. I'm checking out black survivalists websites like:INTERNATIONAL PREPAREDNESS NETWORK. The website is called readyforanything.org - yeah, I'm feeling it. I'd like to hear from you guys. Our characters usually can survive the toughest situations. What would you do? Hit me back in the comments before December 21, 2012 ( darn those crafty Mayans).
