A disaster is a disaster whether 'natural' or 'gov't imposed'. Doesn't matter what the substance needed is for. If there's a possibility of a short supply - like the so called assault weapons ban in '93, people stock up. How many here would like to have the old gas cans with a regular spout? Or the larger capacity toilets that didn't need flushed 2 or more times? The full flow shower heads? There are so many more that had nothing whatsoever to do with 'natural' disasters or 'addiction' to them. Most are no longer around and you can't even buy them on ebay - or if they are and some 'authority' finds out, they ban the seller. Some yard sales have some of them but again, if someone who 'knew what is best for you' saw them, they'd reported them to the authorities.
But that said, I know you need to do your thing here for your own enjoyment.
Wilson: If you’ve got a good life, you’re healthy, you’ve got no reason to ....., no reason to hate life.
House: Well, here’s the flaw in your argument: if I enjoy hating life, I don’t hate life, I enjoy it.
You might hone your 'arguments' a bit better, although for most, you do get the "necessary response" for you to enjoy. We agree on some things, but not the manner of communicating them, so carry on. I do something else that I enjoy more.....
... who weren't as 'addicted' evidently, as we were. There's a difference between prudence and paranoia. You actually know this, but still push the paranoia line for some reason - I'm guessing 'agitation'. Which I obviously understand from your point of view or I wouldn't have written this post.
