I don’t go to a barber shop because there aren’t any. Like most men, I have to go to a beauty saloon. Or, is that salon? Whatever.
Beauty saloons are like barber shops with better gossip. And, there always is something new. This week, I learned about Doomsday Preppers. Bear in mind that my stylist is a young mother of three. She asked if I had seen the show on National Geographic? I had not even heard of it. Apparently she had seen it several times.
The Doomsday people are those that are preparing for the end of everything by stock piling food, water, medicine, ammo and guns. They build expensive bunkers and stock’em up. Please don’t misunderstand, I am not saying anything for or against the idea.
But, in a serious vain today, I would like to ask a question - again with questions. What would happen, really happen if suddenly our little world was cast into chaos?
A simple example of chaos would be if we lost the electric grids all over the country. How bad would that be? Surely we can survive without electricity. Wrong. Without electricity there would be no water for most people and no gasoline to power emergency generators and pumps. It takes electric motors to pump it. And, speaking of pumping, the sewers would back up without pumps. Now, you sitting in the dark, in a sewer. Food would quickly disappear and this would really irritate people.
This could happen without a single shot being fired. The technology exists to shut down power with just a little computer hacking.
What would you do? Haven’t thought about it, have you?
I know what I would do. I would go get another haircut and find out what to do next.
