Do we self scare-monger?

[Highlander]

The short answer is yes,.. we do scare monger, we are often miles over the top, .... but we are aware of whats going on and the possibilities of what `might` happen,... that is what a prepper is, someone who doesn't always think something `is` going to happen, but is ready if it does

I don't think I need to do anything to offset, I don't think I have a negative view of life, just an open mind to it
