I am a regular reader of Zerohedge, which is a website about global financial health or unhealth and stumbled across this article. Thought some might be interested. It's a survey by National Geographic and Kelton Research called: Ready For The Apocalypse? It certainly made me chuckle a couple of times.

That was quite funny.
I'm a little shocked to see that people actually thought events like the movies might occur. I think that was the scariest part. Never mind the lack of preparedness, there should be a baseline of intelligence to begin with and it seems there was woefully little to work with.


If your home library contains more volumes about survival-related topics than your local public library, you might be a prepper.

Planet of the Apes? Really???????????

Kind of makes you wonder what the results would have been if they would have had "Night of the Walking Dead" About 60% of those polled must have been brain dead or just poking fun at the survey.

" Brains - I want your brains" Not!!!! 😆

Well that was interesting but not surprising,the movie thing pretty funny until one realizes how the media over the years programs people.Hmmmmm guess that why I don,t watch much tv or put any faith in mainstream news.In my opinion the media motto is ( keep them scared,keep them stupid and call it entertainment) just saying.

I think that is true Inkspot but that in itself is really scary.
