My spouse thinks I'm a moron for mentioning the spooky stuff like aliens and governments that blow up trade centers, but she is more busy that I am when it comes to learning how to make soap, knitting, storing food etc.. and has also mentioned that she hopes we can just go live in the woods one day, lol. So I guess we'll keep educating ourselves and getting prepared, even if it is for different reasons..

I am not sure what to suggest if there is no middle ground. I know a lot of people call me a communist for suggesting that we start developing mini intercity villages with their own food and power supply.. not sure what that has to do with communism but!!! oh well..

I guess if you have spouse and kids who want nothing more than to watch american idol.. then I guess you should keep it low key and learn as much as you can. There is little you can really DO until we know what is really going to happen. Eg) I am not going to purchase land or anything because I don't know where or if I will have to flee. And.. land ownership only matters in a functional society..So .. someone correct me if I am wrong, but being mentally and functionally prepared for many different scenarios is going to be the name of the game, so that you can react well while everyone else is freaking out.

Anyway.. so I guess be patient with them and remember they are going to look to you if things get hairy.. I'm always the idiot male around my house until someone needs something :-/
