#1 Posted: 3/8/2012 7:34:43 AM  If the power grids go down, it was nice knowing you guys.  I suggest you guys watch some episodes of doomsday preppers asap.  Seriously though, this is a potential problem that can affect us this year. The sun is going to be very active this year. |

Hugging my Kids in 3 ..2....1 Not strange at all. We love to romanticize the intelligence of long distant cultures, but if they were so smart, why do they not exist in all their glory today ?
You should hug your kids everyday anyways. Nothing instills confidence and hope in a child more than love. |

Yes I know, that is the point. If the entire power grid goes down then many people will die. Think if America didn't have power for months to years. They have the potential to do that. |
