BACK TO THE STONEAGE

Bob Neumann

Dear WPA,

I was listening to a commentator talk about the situation in POST-KATRINA amerika. He said that these areas had been “thrown back into the stoneage”. I heard one individual saying on Tuesday Morning that the “people” had to got and LOOT because they needed food. Now for years CIVIL DEFENSE has told people that when HURRICANE SEASON begins they should check their “supplies”. 3 to 7 days of canned food, water, batteries, radio, flashlights, etc…. I guess 24 hours of supplies was less than most of these “people” had “put aside”.

Some people go camping for fun. Canoeing, kayaking, sailing, even hiking….into “wilderness” no less.

Today is Wednesday and the LEVEES have failed and water keeps flowing into NEW ORLEANS. Many people “chose” not to leave…many had few or even no options. Now they have no roof over their head… no electricity and no A/C… no drinking water, no plumbing….

The day after ANDREW hit i had my house bailed out and was putting tarps on my roof. Of course i had hammer, nails, tarps on hand just in case. It is called preparations….on the third day after Andrew we were throwing out the fallen ceiling panels and ripping up carpet that was already stinking. Soggy carpet is not fun to walk on or fun to smell.

Within a week every house had piles of debris, furniture and garbage awaiting “pickup”. We had a very PUNGENT community for a few months till the county could go street by street. In fact DADE county had so much refuse they built MT TRASHMORE that was the highest point in Dade County ever since.

Now if all the prophetic possibilities continue as expected….we should all anticipate accommodating ourselves with STONEAGE technology.

Years ago Hank Williams Jr had a song entitled… A COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE…

You can live off the land….depends if you want to do it hard or easy.

Any thoughts
