i don't mean the religious apocalypse, just the eventual destruction of all or most of human life. it seems inevitable, not because of any sort of deity or anything, but because of human stupidity, and the entropy of the universe and whatnot. and mostly i think of it in terms of rather abstract speculation, as an sf writer and reader. as for towns in the middle of nowhere in america--probably safe from terrorist attack or war for now, bbut who's going to remain safe from our own government for long, when the McCarthyism is starting all over again and the security bills in the senate are trying to authorize secret arrests?

even if we dont end up killing ourselves out, our sun will explode eventually. then where will we be? i suppose it goes back to what you said about survivors, sci fi and all that. i love my country in a "constitional convention, life liberty and pursit of happiness" kinda way, but lets face it, we're a country governed by people who cant help their fallacies. where can you go to be safe from that? britian? australia? finland/new zealand? i dont know if it can be done.

sure, people everywhere have fallacies. but it's not so VERY often that by a huge mess of coincidences a bunch of them come together to place a country in the throes of early-stage fascism.
