...Not much. An economic collapse? Not really. I was never committed to our industrial empire and privilege anyhow. Peak oil? Nah. I Mutated "now and avoided the rush". I'll get to walk more. EMP? See peak oil. I'll miss new movies and cold beer though. OK Nuclear war, collapsing Nuclear facilities and a civil war started by Ultranationalist or the Christian version of the Taliban...makes me a bit queasy.

I'm right there with you C5.
I'm 40 something years old with 2 young kids. I don't know how to prepare them for the road ahead because I can't see the road ahead. It might be under water, scorched to a crisp, or worse.
One part of me says let them live for today and enjoy what they can, knowing they're probably the last generation ever to do so. Another part of me wants to pull back the curtain and show them what's really going on in this world beyond their video games and such.
