Keep hoping. There's nothing the least bit amusing about a world that
considers drug use hip and self-preservation evil. (Isn't it interesting,
though, how the same people who think a disarmed citizenry would be just
swell still can't get enough violence in their entertainment. What
strange web we do weave.)

Not so charming: somehow believing that your safety and well-being are in
any way someone else's responsibility (and trusting them to provide that
security). Completely repellent: the incredibly ignorant notion that
those who believe in every human's inalienable right to self-defense are
all violent, hateful knuckle-dragging war-mongers just itching for a
chance to wreak death and destruction on society at large. Imagine if 200
years ago our founding fathers had decided that truly good and decent
subjects would recognize that only the benevolent state should retain the
power of force, and by extension, that they should simply acquiesce to
the whims of King George and Parliament. ("Pesky commoners! Your betters
will decide what's good for you. Now, get back to your plowing and your
planting, or there'll be no cider for you at the manor house come Sunday!
") Keep your chin up, Rich. Maybe someday we'll all live in a utopia
where neither private ownership of firearms nor Microsoft products are
legal. Rest assured our governments are working on it this very minute.

True, but the poster did ask for a survival guide to a "worst case
scenario." That's what I described. I doubt that many believe it'll get
that bad, at least not as the result of a computer glitch.
