Those that recommended 'One Second After'

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

If you had all the signs and symptoms of cancer, you'd try and justify it to yourself by any other diagnosis you can think of before accepting it. Human nature.

I didn't.

I'm afraid to think that a lot of people will have the same recognition when they realize there's no "end in sight", and things won't be back to the way they used to be... A lot of them will lose their sense of community and morality and will take it out on strangers violently. Others might just collapse internally and take it out on themselves via suicide, murder-suicide, etc.. Regardless of possibilities and "what ifs", TEOTWAWKI will be a devastating turn of events we can only pray doesn't happen in our lifetimes, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be prepared for a few months of self sufficiency if necessary.

I agree on all points. It would be seriously scary. I do like to think much as in "OSA" - good folks would pull together.

I tell ya all, THE ROAD is fking depressing...man trying to make it through and it's harder then hell. One second after at least had a glimmer of hope...

Read this one too - here's a world I don't want to live in. It wouldn't be suicide, but when things look bleak, I'm looking for a hell of a party or a hell of a battle. $0.02
But - see my first point. I feel I'm already living on borrowed time.
