Conservative thinking vs liberal guessing

In the wintertime you don't go to a house to settle in for the winter unless you are prepared. Prepared means you have all the components of heat, food, clothing, supplies as well as other necessary preparations to survive. Prepared does not mean you email, call, write letters, wave to your neighbors or people within the government to come outside ( into the very winter you are trying to avoid) to bring to your house the very supplies you need. It's called forward thinking, making chess moves, looking ahead...thinking for yourself & not relying upon others to do what you can do for yourself
