Good call Alan,
The word that has to come into it is "survival".
Most of the people that I've met recently couldn't cook thier way out of a brown paper bag.
What happens when all the fast food outlets go down?.
People only light fires out of anger these days, not to survive.
In my opinion, we've just got too lazy for our own good.
Over here, we are told to expect to be on your own for at least 3 days to a week.
I'd doubt that a lot of people here could last 1 day at the most.
If we had a decent earthquake here at night, most people here couldn't find thier front door.
But of course, disasters only happen during the day don't they.
