Default Re: Where did everyone go??

There are immature people out there who are scared witless and there is no amount of assurance that can calm them down. These poor souls are bound for self destruction as they run around in circles making so much noise that they wouldn't hear the all-clear if it was sounded.

There are others who are mature enough to have worked out a plan to save themselves and pass the information on to others. Sadly, many of these 'others' are incapable of putting the information to use.

Then there are old fogies like me who have lived through numerous predictions that the world is going to end on the 32nd of Octember in the year umpty-doo.

So I see the reason for the silence being that 1, you can't say much when you're running around like a chicken with its head cut off. 2, you've told people how to help themselves and they don't even thank you so you give up. 3, like me, you've seen and heard it all before and you're still alive and kicking.

Eventually, people will get tired of waiting for the sword of Damocles to fall and realize that they have a life to get on with.

Which reminds me - the kettle's boiling and my mouth feels like the bottom of a bird cage. Catch you in the Lounge.
