You maybe over exaggerating in your words
there? ;-)

Any number of the doom and gloom wailers that think an electrical pop
will destroy our modern way of life. Makes good fantasy like sitting
around the camp fire telling ghost stories.

Just asking Bob, are you an expert in the field? After you use your
receivers do you unplug the antennas from your radio or shunt them all
to ground? Just curious. Not EMP related, I'll beat you to that this
time.

That's fine that you are not worried about anything,
definitely makes life easier that way.;-)

There's enough stressors in life without incorporating an extra load of
grief over something overrated like the destructive effects of EMP.

I definitely agree with you. I have not lost one night of sleep, nor
went to bed thinking about the effects of an EMP explosion.

Hopefully if the big
earthquake ever hits that area (that I was taught was going to happen
back when I was in the 6th grade) and you survive, you won't be in
front of the tv cameras crying saying "I've lost everything" etc. etc.
etc.

Now that's a real possibility, especially with the latest activity on
the San Andreas picking up, although not at all EMP related.

I know it isn't EMP related.

Same thing with New Orleans, I was taught from at least the 6th grade
that is was only "when" the big one (hurricane) would devastate that
entire area....that it sits in the bottom of the soup bowl. EVERYONE,
that I know at least, knew that you would absolutely have to be a fool
to live there.

NOLA is another 'different' scenario,
I lived there many years ago and worked with the Orleans Parish Civil
Defense during hurricane Betsy, when the levy broke and flooded the east
side of the French Quarter out to Gentilly.
No EMP was involved.

I know no EMP was involved.

Fast forward to Katrina...."Where's our gubiment, we
need our gubiment....lol."

Maybe you find humor in people suffering
due to the lack of prudent maintenance
by the underfunded corps of engineers.
Again that was the ineptitude of the Bush administration
and had nothing to do with EMP

No I don't find humor, I find stupidity, and I don't mean to sound
crass about it either. Kind of like living in tornado alley area and
not having a tornado shelter or a basement etc. etc. or insurance for
that.....if that is even possible in those areas. I constantly see
news of hurricanes and tornados EVERY season and I can't help but
shake my head and when I hear or see someone on tv just losing
it.....like they thought it would never happen and sadly just kind of
chuckle...in a sad way...not a laughing way. I know it isn't EMP
related. ;-)

I won't be cutting one ****when**** the "Big One" hits the Cali
area,

The disastrous reign of the Bush cabal has left many without the ability
to make ends meet with the basics of life let alone donate to assist
with the distress of others.

I can't wait to see how many years go by before everyone stops blaming
Bush for everything. Much of the early Bush Admin. problems were
because of things Clinton and company enacted. But hardly anyone
brought that up, especially the media. The country can't just keep
blaming things on him anymore, the annointed leader is now in the
White House cough and he is "Transparent".....as is his cabinet
rolling my eyes and he wants and won on "CHANGE" and then basically
stockpiled his cabinet with people from the Clinton Admin.shaking my
head But it's all good, it'll get better. Right? ;-)

sounds like there's plenty you don't understand, good luck,
life is much less stressful with knowledge rather than without.

Looks like that knowledge has helped you in this thread Bob. Good luck
to you also.
