[Poll] If the U.S. suffers an economic collapse, do you think that you will end up dying as a result?

If you think that the U.S. economy is headed for the gutter or an outright apocalyptic collapse, do you think that it will contribute to your untimely death? We've all heard about how Peak Oil could lead to a collapse and mass starvation, so one way that you could die would be through starvation. Another would be through violence as bandits scour the countryside and urban landscapes for food. Also, people's propensity against violence would decrease. You could also die from a lack of health care that you might otherwise receive.

So, have at it!

Are you a formal survivalist? Do you plan to hole up on a farm and grow your own food and fend off bandits with a high-powered rifle? Are you a fat guy who's storing up food in your gut? Do you think you and your family will be easily rolled by the local gangs? Will you become Mad Max? What if the Chinese take over?

Could Rita X's prediction about a Nation of Islam motherplane spaceship that would bomb all of the white people come true? (For a big laugh, go to 6:44 on this audio clip to learn more about this threat to the white man's existence.)

I voted "No, I don't think that the U.S. economy will collapse or that if it does, it won't be apocalyptic but rather a gradual and rather boring and uneventful decline to third world nationhood", but will add if something apococlyptic DOES happen, I probably wouldnt last long being a type 1 diabetic. There was a long discussion about this very thing on a diabetes board talking about insulin disruption and the like.

I wonder if anyone will choose:

No, I'm an attractive young woman (or man) and I will prostitute myself for food and protection.

How about an option for:

No, but I sure as hell hope it happens so it will stop all of these fucking end of the USA/Zombie Apocalypse threads.

Uhmm...yeah, but if you're a guy, it's not going to be women who are seeking out your services...

What? No rapture option? I'm sure 1 in 4 Americans believe they'll be whisked into the sky before the zombie apocalypse destroys us all.

I have the skills to grow and kill/catch my own food and have maybe 25,000 rounds of ammunition. In all honesty I'd be fine. The camping/boy scout skills don't hurt either.

We'd really be in trouble when the lakes were fished out and game hunted/trapped out. I guess I'd have to grow soy.

All it really takes to throw people into panic is a power outage for more than a few days.

-edit-
And what's with the ready.gov campaign? I keep hearing these commercials about emergency preparedness.

Is this option correct?

No, I am Black and a Nation of Islam spaceship will beam me to safety. Baby ships will come out and kill all the white people and not even the Joint Staff of Chiefs will be able to stop it. (Rita X from Detroit on the Rush Limbaugh Show option.)

Wasn't it "Rita X from Detroit" who once called Limbaugh's show to tell him about how Minister Farrakan had a big spaceship (the Motherplane) orbiting the Earth and that it would beam up all of the black people? Then little baby ships would come out of it and bomb all of the white people to death and not even the Joint Staff of Chiefs would be able to do anything about it? (Someone help me find a link to that sound clip if it's on the Internet, please.)

<Edit> It's at about 6:44 on this audio clip:

Oh I see. I'm the fucktard. Meanwhile, 1 in 4 Americans believe they can fly into the clouds on magical Jesus pixiedust while the non-believers have their brains devoured by radioactive zombie squirrels. Jesus, use your brain for once.

I am not enlightened enough to be one with the Nation of Islam.

I will take over a Spam and Twinkie warehouse. That stuff lasts forever!

Wasn't this on the Simpsons?

I have 100 bags of rice in my basement.
