HomeThere's a special on National Geographic right now that shows people and their families preparing for Doomsday or whatever...and I've only been listening to it from the other room so I may get some of this wrong, but frankly I don't see the point in it. There was a father who worries about overpopulation and puts his kids through a self defense drill, and wants his 12 year old to build his own shelter out of reeds and sticks. What the hell is the point of it? That's what I want to know.

I assume the point is survival. Although why they would want to survive the scenarios they envision is beyond me.

There was also a woman on that show who is worried about martial law and lived literally with the Utah State Capital back yard cuz 'it reminds me of what's at stake, the government is going to come break down my door one day and we're all going to run for it'. And she's got a storage room with 100 gallons of water, and 700 pounds of powder food and whatever...really, what WOULD be the point in trying to survive if that would happen? If the whole world WOULD go to hell someday and the government would break down people's doors and kill them, what would be the point of trying to escape into the woods and survive there? In my opinion life is too short to spend every day worrying and preparing for this bullshit, no thank you, I have better things to do.
