Go ahead, imagine it. What do you think society would be like in your country, or in other countries?
I for one see a newfound respect return for horses and dogs and cats. Feral cats that don't really need constant attention and feeding so long as they take care of the rodent population. You could throw them the odd scrap of meat now and again to keep them around. Also those crazy militia types (Michigan!) that make their own guns and their own bullets will suddenly become a bit more popular. Farming, local agriculture, ruined cities of old and children asking their elders what the fuck are those, and the elders would never answer because they would weep for days long past when the Canyonero roamed the mysterious cragged paths that were once know as highways. It would be a hard world, but those with skill and fortitude can make a living out of it, and have fun in the process; oil-driven lifestyles weren't needed way back when so they'll make it work. It would be the Wild West all over the continent. No condoms of course, unless you raised sheep for the lambskin
. I wonder if political correctness would survive in such a world... (yes I'm aware that I'm looking through rose-colored glasses which is why--)
Option 2; countries get pissed/desperate and start shooting nuclear arms at everybody else and I go try to catch one before it lands on me, dying in the process.
Option 3; I actually catch the missile...
Option 4; ...And throw it back...
Option 5; ...Only to have it airburst over me and kill me anyway.
Ignoring the other options and putting the first in a realistic light, what do you imagine?
