When is society gone

I was just curious to hear some of you alls thoughts, what are the signs that would tell you that the fecal mater has contacted the oscelateing wind mowement machine? What would tell you that it was time to BO/BI and that the rules had changed?
I wonder since the crisies I see as most likely would be progresive. In other words that it would not be one big event like say a nuke attack across the country but rather at most sudden like 9/11 where we heard the planes were hijacked befor they impacted and had a bit of time between hits but even after all of them hit, how many actualy put thier emergency plans in action and bugged out or in as the case may be. More what I see likely in the future would be say the flue pandemic that looms or an epinomic colapse likely due to gas prices going to high for things to be shipped or to high for folks to make a profit by going to work. None of these things would happen in a moment, a day or likely even a week. If you implement emergency plans to soon and it isnt needed then you create a lot of problems for your self, wait to long and you may be stuck in a real bad spot to be, so at what point would you act and what actions would you take?

 

Thats kind of why I am wondering what point folks figure they would call it time. Go to soon and you may be headed out each time the 5 oclock news comes on, untill you lose what you have. Wait untill all the sheeple start to stampeed and you get stuck with the herd. So is it when looting starts, or when there is a surge in crime, when you hear the news that predicts the problem (oil rigs screwed so you know gas will jump more, thy to fill up before they jump), do you wait for martial law, do you wait for FEMA to come in? What are some of the signs that you figure would say 'it's time'?
Then comes the (IMO) even harder question, when do the rules change? Hopefuly you get out of any urban areas and in at least a reasonably secure location before things collapse in on themselves but once things fall apart to the point that there is no longer any real government or society as we know it then for example at what point force may need to be employed changes, things which have been abandoned are no longer so much unatended private property as salvage, basicly that at a some point if there are useful items that obviously have been left behind it is no longer a question if it will be there when/if the person who left them is able to come back for them but rather if it will be you or someone else who happens along who will get the benifit of them.
I dont figure there realy is any right anwser, just curious to folks prospectives. For me, I already live rural and dont own any other property to go to so I would be bugging in, I figure if there is national or local to me martial law or any similar measures being taken then I am a bit late at getting home to ride it out, includeing grounding air traffic and such.

 

Your hair falling out in clumps?

 

That had to of hurt, I know our gas was at $2.50 yesterday and had jumped to $2.78 by this afternoon.

 

melbo, it's called too many things on your mind and you can't keep up with it all.

So you tend to forget what you really need to remember...

And that sucks for all of us, because we all tend to do that at one point or another.

 

I would say, being a tourist with the city flooded, no air lines out, no car to rent, and no where to stay.

 

I figure at that point I break a leg kicking myself in tha azz for waiting WAY to long to get the hell out of Dodge.

 

O.k. now looters are attacking children's hospitals.... :x

This is really starting to make me . .......... uh never mind....... full auto???

 

Shoot them on sight bear, shoot them on sight.

 

Looks like they're going to the Astrodome.....

 

Anybody carrying out anything but the basic necessities should be shot on sight.

So MinuteMan, what happened to the worker that got kidnapped?

 

I was thinking about kidnapping Melbo in trade for one of his .50's. Then again I figured he would just drink all of my alcohol, and Mrs. Melbo would tell me to keep him. Then I would be stuck. With no .50 either.

 

Well, you could alwayse tell her if she didnt send you one of them then you would bring him back.
