you mean because people buy bread and milk before a snowstorm comes, that means we will decend into anarchy after a WMD attack?

Cute.

Let me paint you a clearer picture. (Your city here) gets nuked, dirty bombed or bio-attacked to a scale where 10's of thousands die. People panic, the economy collapses, there are runs on banks and stores and general lawlessness breaks out because law enforcement is too busy looking for terrorists.

We used to be a resilient society however we are no longer.

Men will run and hide in the face of terror rather than confront it.

Everyone will want something to be done but nobody will want "my father/son" to go to war.

Examples of this behavior are all around you. Open your eyes.

It means that when there is no more bread and milk, there will be anarchy. Besides, when you have no job, you won't have the money to buy the milk and bread anyway. And forget your credit cards and cash, they won't be worth the paper/plastic they're printed on. Suggest you and millions more start to think rationally about what we're looking at right now if/when the big one goes off.
