I remember it well...
Some of my prepper supplies (e.g. gasoline powered electric generator) are still around the homestead, and have actually come in quite handy since then. Nothing wrong with a bit of prep, especially whenever guv'mnt is anywhere around...

Yeah, nothing wrong with having backup power, water, food, and tools squirreled away. Zombie apocalypse or nuclear armageddon are unlikely, but power outages, unemployment, and the like are common enough occurrences.
Not to mention state-sanctioned terror...
Oh, come on. Our benevolent overlords would never harm us in any way, because they serve and represent us. All we need to do is whatever they command, and we will be safe and prosperous.
And the tooth fairy will come and save us all... ;)
