Pondering Japan's Earthquake

The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse. 
The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive. 
Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof. 
My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now. 

I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility. 
Here it is:
With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rely on themselves to survive. Small towns will be able to band together and make it. Big cities, like New York, will become war zones onto themselves. They will spread out to smaller communities looking to take whatever they can. Not caring about who or what they hurt along the way. 
It will be another kind of dark age or something even worse.
Violence will rule unless we do something about it now.
Am  I prepared? Not really. But I'm willing to learn, are you?

It will not be the ones who have the guns that will be victors, it will be the ones who owns the bullets and the guns.

Dear Sandy, One minor flaw in your prediction... or I see it as a flaw. Your forecast is linear, in that you have taken trends of today and projected that path will continue straight into the future. You have forgotten about the incurable human nature to change, adapt and strive to do better. Two hundred years ago the major issue of the day was we were running out of whale oil, 100 years ago we had a waste problem caused by horses. Somehow we adapted and grew, we will grow through this as well.

That's true about the guns. I live in a rural area and I know for a fact that most have guns of some kind or another , mostly for hunting. It will be protecting what you have that will be the biggest challenge for most people.

Yes we do have the incurable nature to change , adapt and strive to do better, it's what makes us, us. The question is will it bring more people together to survive or ripe us apart?
