Don't get me wrong tho, I am not saying that ALL networks reporting on negative stories (which is what news are for the most part) do so because of some ulterior motive, however it is hard to overlook the pattern certain networks exhibit by pursuing this particular angle.
There are quite a few "companies" I can think of which seem to be able to profit during times of fear and uncertainty; I am sure Glenn Beck can agree with me on this one 
Seems to happen quite often with that particular network. |
Actually, awareness needs to be made and on a regular basis. When it hits you are going to need to be able to take care of yourself for three days. What percentage of your friends do you think are equipped to do that? Are you? Do you have food, water, battery, transistor radio, light, rain gear?
