I've wondered what I will do, I have 2-3 weeks of water for me but not for all of them. Would they try to come and take it? Could I just shut myself in and try to be stealthy?

That's a shame. Not you specifficaly but that society in general has become so reclusive people don't know thier neighbors they live next to. My little neighborhood isn't that bad, out of the 20 or so houses, I know about 7 families. But I live in a stable neighborhood. My family is maybe the 5th newest and we've been here since '82. And so far it's been a quiet, trusting hood for the most part. Even after hurricane Ike hit, when I was working 16 hour days for the electric company, I came home one night to find someone had cleared a huge limb that had fallen from one of my trees.
But would I share what little I have? Maybe. Hopefully. I try to be a good Christian but deep down I don't believe in the natural kindness of humanity. And I know for a fact I can be a vicious asshole at times.
