At this point, I’m kind of hoping I’m one of the first to go. I’ve had a good life. Not sure I want to lead a hard-scrabble existence after TSHTF! :)
You get to be one of the *village elders* who will be around to pass along some, hopefully much, of the knowledge that you've picked up the hard way, to some of the young, who will likely be in a less fortunate position than you were about surviving even small mistakes.
Note very carefully that I said *village elders* and not Village People. No sense leading the young'uns down paths that lead to disco balls and polyester bellbottoms.
