So what? Does that mean everybody is going to commit suicide and rob banks, rape and pillage?
13000 died this weekend in tsunamis. With warning of even a few hours few would have died. With warning of a few weeks no one would have died.
With warning of a few weeks we could mount massive computer simulations to determine a fairly prcise point of impact and do mass evacuations.
People can handle this stuff if they are simply told about it. The idea that we need government to hide the truth from us is frankly rather insulting to me, but if that's what gets you thru the night, you're welcome to it.
Huh? I never suggested that. Those are your words.

Yeah, this too would be small potatoes compared to a 400 meter asteroid impacting earth. Even with warning. The events you mentioned are not even in the same ball park. An asteroid of that size would be off the scale. Trust me.
