Honestly, this is what I expected to happen in NYC 9/11. It shocked me that it didn't. I used to live in that city, and it is an ugly, ugly place. I guess the difference is attacks from "the other" versus having your basic survival needs wiped out by "Nature." It almost begs you to become a caveman again.
Me, I don't worry about what I'd do in a situation like that. Frankly, it would be horrible, but I know I would survive. I'm always the one who's threatening to hike out into the wilderness and be done with the rest of the human race once and for all, anyway. Living in New York, I think I came close enough to that line between "man" and "animal" enough times that I know pretty much exactly what I'd do.
I don't tend to nightmare about stuff like that. ^^
In a cruel way, I'm kind of enjoying the basic destruction down there. I just wish the human race would learn that you can't flip this planet the bird all the time and never pay for it. But of course they'll rebuild. We always fucking do.
I do wish, however, that it wasn't just the poor "minorities" taking all the damage down there. As I told a friend, Bush would care a lot more if there were rich white folk trapped down there.
And I do wonder when someone's going to point out that the national guard forces which SHOULD be helping out down there right now? Were sent to Iraq to kill women and children - a much more important job.
*shakes head* They can't get help in there DAYS later, but they sure enough jacked gas prices up right away, didn't they? We know where our administration's priorities lie.
/bitter ranting
*hugs* I hope you have a great time at the con. ^^ May you see many Howls!
My thoughts have been along similar lines.
