THREADS/THE ROAD

THE END OF US ALL. Heres a couple of depressors for all my emo readers.(combination of both not recommended same week/day)

1.So I just finished the Cormac McCarthy book: THE ROAD. flipping amzing. man and son survivign after civilization ending event in burnt up cannibal wasteland. its a must read friends. seriously soooo good. a movie is coming out soon about it with viggo. but read the book. cormac. cormac.Link: the road.

2. somewhat related to the road: 1984 BBC docudrama titled Threads that deals with a nuclear war between soviets and the west and the subsequent fallout...and breakdown of society. sooo depressing and messed up. its a watcher if you have an hour and a half of time. chug down the whiskey and settle in for some good times!!!!

so you read The Road! Explains all the cannibalism talk. I have a question you have yet to clarify in all of this: WHEN can we eat you?

What I mean is this: Suppose we are all indeed on The Road, or on a ship with a broken sail drifting endlessly, you know what I mean, do we wait for you to die of natural causes? If you're critically injured and GOING TO DIE SOON, can we light the coals and ready the marinade?

Suppose we're all healthy but starving, and you're the only one with a cannibal donation card around your neck... can we kill you and eat you? Would that bother you?

its the details like these that need to be worked out.
