We’ve all seen those survival “reality” shows, and perhaps the less gullible among us have wondered just how “real” they really are. That point matters, but not in the context of this post. What we’re talking about here is a far more impactful issue, in fact, one that could impact your very survival. And it’s a sad state of affairs.
