A common reaction among humans when first contemplating the pole shift as
      presented by us, is to think that the better option is to go out with the
      tidal waves, go down under quake debris, or be blown against a wall by
      high winds and have it all over with quickly. Most survivors of
      multiple pronged disasters sit stunned until death overtakes them. Imagine
      the World Trade Center disaster, without rescue. No food stuffs
      brought in, no financial rescue, no media attention. This is in essence a
      depression, where less and less is done, as time passes. Illness sets in,
      and those stunned and unable to see a way out are at last given their way
      out, quietly.
      
      We present a scenario of struggle to survive in the first place, with
      travel and terror and living a dual life of uncertainty due to the
      establishment cover-up. Getting past that as a short term problem, the
      larger problem looms like a dark cloud. Life in the Aftertime is fraught
      with dying forests, lack of livestock or flocks or wildlife to eat, and
      gardens that will not flourish. Add to this the description of a Mad Max
      world, where a set of laws and a governing body will be nonexistent or
      turned toward self-service, marauding gangs and the need to live forever
      in a low-profile mode to survive. Then the time frame of a 25 years
      volcanic gloom, with climate change requiring vegetation to adjust as well
      as try to re-grow, and it seems a long way off before one can
      sit on the porch in the evening, enjoying the evening. Those with children
      despair that they will be educated, will live to adulthood without health
      problems besetting them, rotting teeth, painful disease, only to find they
      are bearing offspring into a world that is a nightmare. Those in poor
      health envision that they will become a burden on others, fear this will
      occur in slow steps so they will be unaware of it, perhaps senile or
      comatose due to starvation, and unable to control their life at all. 
      
      Thus, there are huge worries to anyone taking the message
      semi-seriously, and the first thought is that this is a nightmare to be
      avoided. So, given this perspective, what IS there to live for?
