What, are you thinking about this swine flu stuff? I remember the flu hysteria in the mid 70's, and the Ford administration wanted everybody to get flu shots to avoid the swine flu. Been there, done that. Meanwhile, I'm sure you'll keep believing in the complete breakdown of civilization. I think odds are far higher we get smacked by an asteroid on April 13, 2036 (currently I think the odds are 1 in 45,000) than experience the civil unrest you are preparing for. Never underestimate the ability of a 24/7 news cycle to whip people into a frenzy of fear. en.wikipedia.org
