We’ve recently been accused of not taking doomsday arguments seriously enough. With that in mind, please note this important story from America’s Finest News Source:

Report: Majority Of Americans Unprepared For Apocalypse

WASHINGTON, DC—Over 87 percent of Americans are unprepared to protect themselves from even the most basic world-ending scenarios, according to a study released Monday by the nonpartisan doomsday think-tank The Malthusian Institute.

Despite “more than ample warning” for the most likely means of worldwide destruction, less than one million American households have taken even the simplest precautions against nuclear shockwaves, asteroid impact, or a host of angels bearing swords of fire, the study concluded.

Sobering.

    We’re supposed to be prepared for end of the world scenarios too? I was kickin’ back on the assumption that Prof. Falken had it right in Wargames. I live on the East Coast, I’ve always expected to be nuked outright so I wouldn’t have to wait for the literal fallout.
