"the sound of silence"

[I-K-E]

Simple people don't like change.... I was told this by a post grad tutor for when on an intro course for all the MSc students in the faculty at Manchester Uni. To demonstrate his point he asked all the students who had studied at Manchester before ... I was amazed when over 3/4 of the room put their hands up

any how it's how they adapt that will be key if all things goes quite solar flare etc then to start of there is going to be chaos and it while then start to quite down. If people have survived that long then they will have had a chance to adapt

As BP has stated I would expect a lot to commit suicide at various times during any change in society if its a forced and sudden change like the light going out but the bulk of them will be about giving up,no point in living, better than staring to death, nothing left to lose etc
