History Channel
Last night I stayed up way too late watching this program on the history channel about what would happen in a modern day Armageddon. In this instance, there was a plague that contaminated the entire human population, much like the black death. It was interesting to see how humanity would change and over time, eventually go back to their older ways, farming, living off of the land, without electricity or irrigation for their water. A situation like that would be entirely life altering and it made me wonder if in our lifetimes, we will ever see a pandemic break out that changes our lifestyles. I know the swine flu had us worried, but do you think it will ever get worse? Any thoughts on this?

I think that what will end up killing humans is hunger, not disease. Hunger has been the natural population control for every other species on the planet, and I think it'll start catching up with us eventually. There are just too many people on the planet, but we keep feeding them all and depleting non-renewable resources in order to maintain population growth. In the end, I think we'll all end up running out of food or other essentials like shelter or clean water as a collective mass... just like lemmings, because we cannot seem to be able to stomach the deaths and/or human suffering that goes on around the globe.
