Developer: Kan. caverns could preserve human race
Associated Press ^ | Jun. 20, 2013 9:44 AM EDT | Bill Draper

After most of the world’s population is wiped off the map by a wayward meteorite or hail of nuclear missiles, the survival of the human race might just depend on a few thousand people huddled in recreational vehicles deep in the bowels of an eastern Kansas mine.

That’s the vision of a California man who is creating what he calls the world's largest private underground survivor shelter, using a complex of limestone caves dug more than 100 years ago beneath gently rolling hills overlooking the Missouri River.

“I do believe I am on a mission and doing a spiritual thing,” said Robert Vicino, who has purchased a large portion of the former U.S. Army storage facility on the southeast edge of Atchison, about 50 miles northwest of Kansas City, Mo. “We will certainly be part of the genesis.”

Before it comes time to ride out Armageddon or a deadly global pandemic, though, Vicino says the Vivos Survival Shelter and Resort will be a fun place for members to take vacations and learn assorted survival skills to prepare them for whatever world-changing catastrophe awaits. …

No, this is not a “spiritual thing”, unless by “spiritual” he means something else.

Why would the human race want to survive if it has to live beneath Kansas?

If it happens all of a sudden the only people left alive will be those in the cavern? What if it’s closed for the evenings/holidays? My suggestion: Turn it into a homeless shelter for young women. I’ll provide ‘security.’

Or more likely you’ve done the liberal thing and found a great solution for which you must create a problem or crisis.

A mine is not a cave.

Muffley: Well, I, I would hate to have to decide...who stays up and...who goes down.
Dr. Strangelove: Well, that would not be necessary, Mr. President. It could easily be accomplished with a computer. And a computer could be set and programmed to accept factors from youth, health, sexual fertility, intelligence, and a cross-section of necessary skills. Of course, it would be absolutely vital that our top government and military men be included to foster and impart the required principles of leadership and tradition. Naturally, they would breed prodigiously, eh? There would be much time, and little to do. Ha, ha. But ah, with the proper breeding techniques and a ratio of say, ten females to each male, I would guess that they could then work their way back to the present Gross National Product within say, twenty years

Doctor, you mentioned the ration of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn’t that necessitate the abandonment of the so called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?

My kids asked me to watch some crappy movie the other night called 2012. Besides being one of the stupidest movies I have ever seen I did take away one truth, the way they picked the ark passengers is closer to the truth than not. Politicians, elitists, and billionaires will be the chosen, not the rank and file, we don’t have the qualities they desire.
