Watching that Preppers program where Americans with a nut loose are preparing for the end of the world is a fascinating insight into the American culture. Firstly, it is clearly the result of over a decade of the American government producing fear and mass hysteria in the country so they can do what ever they like (to generate cash) and say it is to fight terror. More often than not there are a lot of guns. What the preppers forget is that as they are all nutcases, and armed to the teeth, they will eventually start killing each other in their families and clans before the end of the world. Would be funny though if the preppers started a war that did bring about the end of the USA; after all, whats the point in all their prepping unless they get to use it all; therefore they will kick something off David Koresh style.
Looks fun though; what would you do if there was a solar flare or similar that knocks out everything we depend on to survive. I think I would hunt and eat preppers.
