'And around and around we go with the dilemma. However, like it or not, good or bad, that awareness level (good) will come sooner or later and with it the stampede effect (bad) and the tolerance of service drops necessary to put all resources into fixing this problem (good). With that threshold level of public awareness (good) and panic (bad) will come a demand for high level centralized government control (bad) even so far more people will take things seriously and do what they can to be personally prepared(good). Why is this important to understand? Because when knowledgeable spokesmen and leaders give their dire facts and figures and yet come to mild conclusions you need to understand the pressures they are under.
