Are you a prepper?
I embrace the potential collapse/zombies/apocalypse as sort of a reset button for the planet. I was very disappointed when it started to sink in that nothing was going to happen in December. I don't know who told me it was going to happen, but I was ticked off at them for getting my hopes up.
I'm not a "Must Live At Any Cost" type of person. I'm okay with dying. Especially since most of the world is going to be destroyed or severely affected. I mean, after your stash runs out - what do you do? You can't watch TV or listen to the radio or go to the store: everyone is dead. The solitude and quiet would be awesome for a while, I have to admit. But there won't be any alternative to it; no other choices. And I like options.
I have an overwhelming hunch that most of the preppers believe they're going to heaven when they die, so I don't understand why they'd try to avoid it. Especially since it would be the perfect opportunity for them and their family and all their friends to go at the same time.
