For a country that depends on the internet [electricity] to communicate, American society will go Medieval in less than 30 days.

Can’t withdraw money, no telephone, no internet, car won’’t run.

It’s only one electro-magnetic pulse EMP away.

Smartest business startup today is a cohesive survival kit in knapsack form. Sell it over the internet...but hurry. ;^)

You said — “For a country that depends on the internet [electricity] to communicate, American society will go Medieval in less than 30 days.”

Yes, if our infrastructure collapses or is attacked by terrorists (either way), then there will be chaos and anarchy and martial law — and a return to the Middle ages...

I would think that Bush and Cheney are hoping to avoid that one... :-)

That EMP situation is a real problem, all right. That’s one reason why I would have liked to have seen Iran attacked, in regards to its nuclear facilities.

I hear that Al Qaida has a flotilla of ocean-going vessels, where (if they get their hands on a nuclear device), they can launch from sea and explode over the U.S. — and big-time trouble then...
