===Water Distribution System===
 +
[[Water]] is vital for all known forms of life. As such it is the greatest human need, after [[oxygen]]. Humans need clean water for drinking because if you don't drink water or take it in through the food you eat you die. It is also important for the water to be clean because drinking water with harmful substances can cause major illness and death in humans.

including the [[Power grid]]
 +
 +
The [[Energy system]] is the totality of all the smaller systems that together provide the [[infrastructure]] for [[energy]] based systems. These include [[mining]] and harvesting materials as energy sources. Examples are [[drilling]] for [[oil]], mining [[coal]], or on a smaller scale collecting [[firewood]]. The [[transportation]], refinement, and [[sales]] of these raw [[material]]s is also a large part of the system. Knowing the ins and outs of these complex systems allow you to actively choose which energy sources to use, create stockpiles of raw materials, and acquire the hardware and knowledge to convert energy source to a usable form. Creating [[Alternative systems of support | alternatives to this system]] is also important.

The [[power grid]] is a part of the larger [[Energy system]] that consists of numerous production facilities ([[Coal]], [[Natural gas]], [[Nuclear]], [[Hydroelectric]], [[Wind]] and [[Solar]]), distribution networks ([[cable|lines]], [[transformer]]s, etc.), and [[maintenance]] and monitoring personnel.

'''Education''' is the process through which one learns useful [[skill]]s or obtains [[knowledge]]. This includes the educational systems available to education our [[children]] as well as looking at what and how [[adult]]s learn. The systems available for education our children include [[public school|government run school]] system, [[home schooling]], unschooling<ref> http://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/courtney-clay-on-unschooling Accessed April 4, 2014</ref>, and [[online education]].

 +
The [[United States government]] run school system is a Prussian model system that began in the late [[1700s]].

These systems have been reluctant and slow to adapt to new [[technology|technological breakthroughs]].

Conservative Christian Libertairian - "Prepper-Patriot" Politics to Understand "The System"

The Systems of support or simply "The System" are the collection of systems which provide for and maintain modern life. Many of these systems could be considered necessary to modern life. However, since many of these systems are unsustainable, extremely fragile, and already failing, developing alternative systems of support and investing in tangibles is an extremely important mission for communities.

The continued survival of all of the innumerable good things of "The West" including its systems is one of the particular missions of conservatives, libertarians, preppers-survivalists, and American patriots. This mission particularly means the survival of the limited government Republican system (not Democracy) established by the United State Constitution and its Bill of Rights, the survival of the liberty-oriented American values - Small town values of Real America that built the success of these United States over the last two "America centuries". This also implies the traditional values, capitalism and free enterprise supported by modern conservatism - modern preparedness, which are the original American patriot Founding Fathers' values. For the survival of these systems and values, it requires preparation.

In the first decade of the 21st century, we easily see these values and way of life being imperiled when faced with the destructiveness of a diverse collection of forces

All of the above forces can become major hindrances to the survival of the American system and its "systems of support".

The broad categories that summarize what systems are key to the survival of the American modern world are listed below.

Systems of Support

Water is vital for all known forms of life. As such it is the greatest human need, after oxygen. Humans need clean water for drinking because if you don't drink water or take it in through the food you eat you die. It is also important for the water to be clean because drinking water with harmful substances can cause major illness and death in humans.

The Energy system is the totality of all the smaller systems that together provide the infrastructure for energy based systems. These include mining and harvesting materials as energy sources. Examples are drilling for oil, mining coal, or on a smaller scale collecting firewood. The transportation, refinement, and sales of these raw materials is also a large part of the system. Knowing the ins and outs of these complex systems allow you to actively choose which energy sources to use, create stockpiles of raw materials, and acquire the hardware and knowledge to convert energy source to a usable form.

Alternative Educational Systems

The Internet allows for access to a vast amount of raw information (see Conservapedia for instance) as well as forming learning communities not available with a physical location school.

PERMIE KIDSs is an online community of parents and educators empowering children to take a solutions-based, active approach to life by learning to care for people and the Earth (see Permaculture).
