Nobody is Coming to Save You (America)
It's a popular saying in self-defense/self-reliance circles; 'nobody is coming to save you.' And it's not a bad mantra by which to generally live one's life. If you live in the country it's probably already ingrained in you to some degree anyway. Everything is already farther away, the cops, grocery, fire dept, etc. But even if you live in the city or suburbs and things are 'closer', they're still minutes away. And when seconds count, minutes are too much. But I think the phrase extends well beyond just the self. It also makes sense for the USA as a whole. As I write this the current administration is asking congress to send a 100 billion aid package overseas....
