Wel, this event will eliminate the bad guys at the top first,
The poor and down and out will survive.
Novel idea.

Most of us with a computer are in the upper half so die-off from the top down isn't such a hot idea (color me self-centered) and I don't think the starving masses are going to be able to pull it off anyway.

Maybe we could just ask people to conserve and ask young couples take into account enivormental impact when planning a family?

This thread isn't as out there as it may seem.

Current conspiracy/(maybe not conspiracy) is true and changes will be made to codex alimentarius making certain vitamins illegal and certain toxins legal in foods. Codex alimentarius stops being voluntary and becomes manditory as governments yield to the UN in the face of a massive world wide food crisis. Now our foods come nutrient and vitamin devoid, and it becomes totally acceptable for known toxins to be used or put in our foods.

Is it THAT much of a stretch?

malnourishment is commonplace and cancer rates skyrocket (although, this could very easily remain unknown to the public as widespread and easily accessible health care becomes a thing of the past.

Again, how much of a stretch is this?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ludi', 'K')illing the people who support you doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Our society is a big pyramid scheme. You can't kill those at the bottom (in vast numbers) without the whole thing collapsing.

Just my naive opinion.

What about cannibalism? You left out cannibalism, I mean, that's a lot of good meat going to waste there.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('burtonridr', 'I') agree... We could do without the upper half, great leaders always seem to shine through the dust when the old ones have perished.

You cannot however replace the bottom half, its like the engine in a car. You cannot get a car very far without an engine. The top half would represent a fuel, you can always dream up a new fuel or energy source.
