Recent polls show that 22% of Americans believe that the apocalypse will come in their lifetime.  That's a startlingly high number... at first....

Then, you stop to think that only 1 in 3 Americans believe in evolution and you realize that 22% is actually doing quite well. And other than an irrational love of canned meat, holes in the ground, and guns, I would hazard that believing in the apocalypse is probably a lot less damaging than teaching children a bearded white guy (how did an Arabic Jewish guy become a Scandinavian hard rocker? I have no idea) created them by sticking his skinny ass on an all powerful Xerox machine.

So go ahead, buy your rations, solar panels, rifles, seeds, generators and most importantly, SPAM. 80% of your neighbors won't know what hit them (sometime in the next 65 million years).

I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals...
