I stumbled on it during a long commercial break in the Orange Bowl. Saw Mr Personality. it was too far in it to record, but I'll catch it on the flip side.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE DEPRESSED. Read the apocalyptic novel Lucifer's Hammer. It starts a little boring and predictable (space object hits earth, all hell proceeds), but but picks up a quarter way in. I think it does a very good job of showing how fragile our society is and what it will take to survive. Some of it is gross, but one of the points in the novel is preparation and action are key. Sitting around waiting on someone else (government) to save you is a sure way to die.
