"The "Dark Winter" worst-case scenario specifically excluded standard prophylactic techniques and assumed that the average American was dumb as a box of rocks. "

Ummm.... I could call that "realistic". Just take a look at the protesters and the liberals and then tell me that they aren't "as dumb as a box of rocks". In fact I take a box of rocks any day, it's quiet.

No, the problem is that you have to assume EVERYONE (including Freepers and those who would be Freepers if they but knew about FR) in America is really that frickin' stupid.

And you'd also have to presume that known effective public health measures like quarantine would not be used.
