This is why Im moving to Australia. Australia has never had a great empire and it looks like its about time they had one. Long live Kangaroos.

That could work if it wasn't for globalization. Societies are interdependent on each other more so now than ever before. On one hand it makes technology progress at an astonishing rate because of all the minds who work on a problem. On the other hand it also makes any problem affect everything else to some degree. Look at what happens when a large fluctuation in the US stock exchange occurs and what this does to foreign markets. Australia would be a good candidate for isolation if it did come down to a worldwide collapse, but the natural carrying capacity of the continent would still be taxed. Also, there is a good chance there will be a ton of Americans, Europeans, Africans, and Asians rushing to the shores as soon as anything huge hits. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

IF something happens, we cant do a **** thing about it. Nor do we have any control over if it will happen. Nor could we survive a nuke, and if for some reason we do, the fallout would poison everyone.

So stop worrying about, if something happens, it happens.

Oh and for the record IMO Bush is a complete moron, and to think we still have another 2 years of his bullsh!t to go.

I wouldnt be surprised to see chapters written in history books all across schools 30-40 yrs from now listing this morons f, ups and how he nearly drove this country down the sh!tter.

IMO worst American president we've ever had.

That's why the end of civilization would be 100x worse than the end of the world.
