Stockpiling Madness
View this Thread in Original format

Ever notice people seem to loose their common sense before a storm? Take a trip to the grocery store and you will see what I'm mean. Everyone makes a mad dash to stockpile as much food as his or her shopping carts will hold. Can goods and bottle water are at the top of the list, but any non-perishable will do.

We in New England got hit with a 2-day storm that dropped 12-18 inches of snow, but from the way people reacted you would think they were preparing for WWIII. I don't know who is more responsible the news media for whipping up the mania or the idiots who strip the shelves clean.
