Brian raises the following question:

<p style="margin-left:50px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-top-color:#ffffff;padding:5px;border-right-color:#bbbbbb;border-left-color:#ffffff;border-bottom-color:#bbbbbb;">This week, I’m throwing out a question to the forums based on this premise: How long would it take you to take a major threat seriously, if you even did? While I was working on one of the outbreak stories found in the game, I started thinking about just how easy it is to tune out news or how stubborn people can be to accept news that challenges routine. For example, when hurricanes hit, in cases where there is a 100% chance of it hitting a certain area, there are always reporters out asking people when they plan to evacuate, and more than one will claim they are going to “ride out the storm.”

Looking at how people are treating the global financial crisis it is pretty safe to say people can close their eyes to anything for indefinite amounts of time. If one person can profit from the status quo, he'll tell everyone else that all is fine. And they'll happily believe him and continue showering him with wealth and power. Because sheople want to be led. And strong leaders and wise experts give a sense of security that is able to overcome even the most ugly faced, undeniable truth.

As someone who lived in (and still does) fl-24 during the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season, I can tell you that only the first hit (which killed the power and thus the AC) was something I would have left for. Katrina was an issue because at some point in history some idiot(s) thought it would be cool to build a city below sea level (Katrina also had the issues with the parasite population.

No mention of rape again, eh?

Like most people, I only get worried when I can smell the burning corpses. I think it's natural to think X disaster isn't gonna hit you (unless you live in a place where they are common)

Golpe avisa, as they say.

I started thinking about it when I watched Sean of the Dead. It was pretty funny.

In line with the recent history of this country, if I hear/read that masses of religious zealots are lynching "heathens & blasphemers" left and right on any major city or in a number of surrounding cities, or anything hazardous of similar proportions happening, I'm migrating to the family village first thing in the morning. If I manage to make it there (8+ hours ride), already got food and other stuff stocked there and plenty of arable land that's worked once each year (by relatives on their spare time. Don't get ideas). If that isn't an option, then watching for any similar activity in my city to try and organize some locals.

Well, even then most people will pretend it's not happening, as long as there's little chance of it happening to them.

Fixed.
