believe as they do or the world will end or the liberals will win, or the Chicoms will take over America, or there will be millions of deaths or this is nothing more than the flu and 50 60 thousand dead is cool... after all people die all time. Can't have that getting in the way of profit and greed.

We are wasting our time trying to fix people who don't approach this on some united front.

All the weapons of war they have hoarded can only be used to raid and steal while killing other humans. Like Jesus would do. We sure are gettin great, and winning.

They don't seem to realize it doesn't work like that until they hit their 30s and that first tooth goes bad. Sooner, if they're into meth.

While many of them are plodding through an undergrad degree or managing to show up at a job every day, they pretty much don't do long term thinking.

I have a certain amount of sympathy for them, I remember what it was like being that age.

I'm going to be really pissed off if one of them bangs on my door to sell me Jesus and gives me the disease.

What are we going to do with all those empty cars and houses? And maybe yachts? The very rich aren't totally immune to the virus, no matter what they tell themselves.
