A Dark Fantasy ?

How feasible is a rapid and complete break of our Western society ?  Who really knows ? Well I know from bitter experience how fast the collapse can take hold. About 10 years ago we had a national strike amongst the wagon tanker drivers who delivered our petrol to the petrol pumps. In most reasonable sized towns a tanker arrives every night to top up supplies. After 3 days of picketing and no deliveries, food supplies were running low on shop shelves in the North of our country. Our then Prime Minster Tony Blair happened to be visiting the North East and stumbled upon these scenes. He delivered a prompt press conference saying he was calling in the Army to deliver the fuel. He was literally sweating as he spoke. He was caught unawares as this was happening outside and far from our capitol, London
    Everything is on a knife edge in our society. This fact hit me I remember, when I saw how quiet the roads were, including the motorways during those few days. This is just a little reminder of how fragile or society is, and ive never forgotten it. Extra fuel was delivered of course for the Police Force. Food, Law and Order and the Economy could very quickly have collapsed. It doesn't take much when we rely so heavily on one factor. ie; fuel  Just imagine what could happen if we were armed as many in America are. I don't need to say any more...
