Denholm, your posts are always great and you give such wonderful suggestions! We do need to see to personal needs like laundry, hygiene, etc, but especially we need safety/protection and water. First those, then food and the rest. I agree with you.

Some of us, however, due to certain physical restrictions, will not be able to do any walking. We might walk a few steps at home, might manage one shop, but by no means could set off on a hike, not even if we knew it was only five miles.

This thread has a couple semi-divisions. One is set by available resources for purchasing and planning. The other is set by physical limitations.

Much of what we write about suits all groups, or can be adapted to suit all. If an item we believe we need is expensive, someone generally comes up with a work-around or a less expensive form for those of lesser means.

Unfortunately, the human physical restrictions may not allow for work-arounds, and we need to address these issues as well.

Certainly a person with severe physical inabilities cannot expect to have the longest life span, but still has a perfect right to do the best he or she can, extending it as far as possible while counting on a miracle, since miracles do happen. God will take care of His own. We want to be as helpful as possible to those people as to more active types.

Thus, we have to address equally those who could leave their vehicle, taking their supplies, or most of them, one way or another, and those who cannot go more than a few yards beyond their vehicle.

They might as well stay where they are and learn to fight then JMHO

The person is going to need people too, so be prepared to negotiate and/or help others and learn to live with them.

Because when they are going have to leave, they are going to need help.
 Quoting: Denholm



They may not wish to leave, for whatever reason, or perhaps they are going to go it alone for whatever reason, so we need to find ways that will accommodate their needs and preferences.

People, what do you think - we are including people who are "poor" - what about the disabled? What would you think about my changing the thread title to be inclusive of them?

The reason it's on my mind tonight is that I read a post in another thread today wherein someone said that anybody who takes medications might as well just die, because they have bad genes which will infect the gene pool.

This upset me - I saw it as being terribly wrong. In fact, it's upsetting me as I think about it.

So, how about we include the disabled and certainly those who require medication? We've been doing the medication thing fairly well so far, but perhaps people will speak up with needs for other medications, now that we are addressing inclusiveness.

I don't think we should assume that any group of people will just die right away. That's not fair, and does not leave room for miracles and other acts of God.

Tell me what you think, group.
