Getting the message (out)

[iaaems]

Our present way of life is based on trust. Our future way of life will have to have some trust as well because we cannot do everything ourselves and others will have to be drawn into our 'circle' from time to time - I do not think that we can avoid this. Communications is a case in point - we have to rely on the postie to deliver our messages and we have to rely on the phone co to keep their equipment working so that we can talk over the miles of separation.
The Hams have always done a good job in some very difficult scenarios and if all else fails I feel that there will always be someone 'out there' who can do something. However I do agree that if at all possible we should try just a little bit to do our own thing.
