More and more people are sitting back and patiently waiting for "the Government" to come and fix the problem(s) after a disaster - or taking from people who were prepared. Look at Katrina. Look at Sandy. The cries go up "Where is <ORGANIZATION>?! We need <THINGS>!"
As Graebarde said, it isn't paranoid to have insurance, and that's just what "preparing" is. You're buying your own insurance.
I shudder to think what would happen, here, in my state in the event of an Andrew-level hurricane strike on Central Florida. That is, I shudder to think what would happen to me and mine if word got out that we were prepared, and the grasshoppers who were without suddenly realized we were eating well and bathing in hot water regularly. Brr.
Sorry, that's borderline political so I'll leave off now.
