Sounds like everyone dies then, no?

Not judging it. In fact, I feel it's not completely different from my first response, but instead of me killing myself and the baby, you make the neighbors kill yourself and the baby.

Oddly, I'd almost rather my baby die by my hand than my neighbor's. I think the idea of someone else doing it is particularly terrifying. I would hate to put his/her last moment in someone else's hands. They might be brutal.

Not necessarily. I wasn't implying that I would let the other villagers kill my baby. I really try to look at things for the greater good of this world in my life. But when the rubber meets the road, my family comes first. If it came down to it, I slit their throats too.

On a similarly odd note, I have been fascinated by this new show "Doomsday Preppers". If you are unfamiliar with the show, there are two distinctly different subcultures among the "preppers". The first is your stereotypical gun-wielding troglodyte who is absolutely certain of the zombie apocalypse. The second are stockpiling pacifists who belief that hugs and apple cider will get them through a nuclear holocaust. I love this show!

Though I know I've grossly oversimplified these good people, which camp would you fall in? The community garden or the one man army?
