You obviously never been through a major natural disaster where you are on your own and what you have is all that you may have to live off of for days and even weeks. I am sure if you only had 4 gallons of water you would give away 3 to the community and leave one for you and your family to live on for who know how long.... sure you would.  You would be the first one to put a sign up. |
Did you stop to think for a minute that only an idiot would sit around with limited supplies, limited resources, knowing they're going to run out?
Large numbers of people, neighborhoods, multiple families did and normally do gather together when this happens. The problems start to happen with people cut others off that need supplies, exclude them the communities or force them into areas with no supplies or even less resources.
If they have a community to fall back on, they're resources/knowledge and abilities could provide to the community while getting what they need.
I wouldn't need a sign, I know trying to survive on your own with limited sources and a family, is going to be next to impossible. Either I'll go to the community centers setup by the red cross, and start helping and get get my family what they need, or I can easily become the leader in my area and do the exact same thing with local resources, which is basically how everything has functioned for thousands of years.
Maybe you need to get out more, the Internet makes people social moles and reading so much twisted crap online makes us all think the world is full of evil, but the reality is... during times of devastation, people are even more open to joining together than ever, they just need a leader.
You wouldn't stand up and help lead your fellow Americans to a better tomorrow? I would without thinking twice.
