"The
truth is...no one really knows for sure. Prepare for the worst,
hope for the best, and weigh the risk of preparation with the
risk of non-preparation... " ---George Grindley (State Rep. District 35 Marietta, Georgia) |

What is the difference
between Paul Revere and Chicken Little? Think of the old tale of the grasshopper and the ant -- which one are you? Reframe the problem until you understand it. |

"Preparing for
the worst doesn't mean you believe it will happen, it means only
that you accept that the possibility exists. You don't need proof
that your house will burn down before you buy fire insurance,
nor that you will have an automobile accident to purchase car
insurance. In the same way, you do not need to believe worst-case
Y2k scenarios will happen to take out another kind of insurance
-- emergency preparedness."
