Thanks for the suggestions. yep - print it out now because the internet may not be there when you need it. Sadly - Americans voed for destruction in 2008 and they drool over TV and TV keeps him in power.
I feel sorry for seniors and baby boomers the most. The young will have a chance to start over after TEOTWAWKI. Sadly - I feel America will be more like Mad Max/Zimbabwe than Argentina or the collapsed USSR. It will be worse.
The US has it's own subculture that is just chomping at the bits to bring about that very "Mad Max" scenario to which you refer. What we're seeing in Egypt tonight we could see in the US in the future.
