Just finished watching the "TS-19" episode of The Walking Dead. When you think about what was learned and what transpired in the episode, you have to come to the brutal conclusion that we are WAAAAYYYY too dependent on the government and public entities. What are you going to do when there is no more law enforcement, no more medical establishments, no more military, no power grid, no electronic communication, no manufacturing, no refrigeration, no heat or air conditioning? What you have is all you're going to have. Your neighbors will be busy tending to their own families; they won't have the time or resources to bail you out.
Why is The Walking Dead so popular? Maybe because it makes people think about how people like us would deal with the total collapse of society as we know it. It's something we never want to deal with, but we want to know what would happen and how the human psychology would change and evolve to cope. Your beliefs and your morals will be tested and painfully shredded; yet through all this, you still try to find hope.
