WHY WE LOVE THE ZED APOC.
Posted: Mon Oct 04, 2010 3:19 pm
Ever wonder why we all love talking about Z-day. On the surface it seems a terrible thing to imagine, but I am hard pressed to find anyone under 80 who doesn't have an opinion on it.
For myself I like hearing peoples plan of survival. Most seem to surround the Dawn of the Dead scenario. Hold up and wait. The only problem there is everyone has seen that flick. When we reach the sporting goods store the manager and his family will be waiting with shotguns. He will not risk his family for anyone. I can't blame 'em.....but I want to survive as well. Lots of ugly scenarios there.
there is also , I suppose, a gigantic kind of freedom in the world coming down. Social morays become extinct and honor fossilizes in the ground. Smalltalk, tolerance, not farting in the elevator...all of these things are off the table of concern. I'm not saying that's a good thing, but when everything is down to the days survival you appreciate things more.
Anyway... Why do you like thinking about it.
