I like your post neoph...
If meth is the modern zombie then lets have at them

About half of the births in our state are by methheads and on the public aid. I read the other day that there was 15 million spent on Illegals last year in one county in Texas.
We have to stop accepting.

We are having a terrible time with meth up here, kids as young as 11 years old are getting hooked on the stuff. It's ruining a lot of people's lives, it's sad.

Mr, Neo, sir, it's not the things that go bump in the night that bother ME. We live next door to a cemetary that is almost 200 years old. Not one of its occupants has ever busted through the sod to torment us by the light of the full moon.

It's the drug "zombies" zipping up and down our rural road searching out their next score that scares the crap out of me.

Zombies, real or imaginary do not bother me. It's the police, who don't bust the crack houses because they bring in local revenue that have me worried.

It's just another symptom of the cancer that is eating away at our society. Are we supposed to turn our head to crime because it is a money maker for our local government?

It is another reason why we are prepared to defend ourselves should TSHTF and society breaks down completely, and why we must all prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

meth and crack is no where near representing the modern zombie. The modern zombie are the emotionless people on anti depressants, the prosac nation. The mindless people that go through the same repetitive process over and over and repeat it non stop until their death. The people that are just completely apathetic and do nothing to make changes in their life.

Those are the real modern zombies. Meth and Crack are uppers, make people run around do and crazy stuff, and sometimes even be productive due to the boost of energy, with of course negative effects. However, far from a zombie.

Worker zombies make this country work. They pay taxes and are responsable. You can be a rebel if you want but dont talk down the worker bee. Meth kills every one.

I am not disrespecting anyone who has an honest job. Work is work, and getting paid is getting paid. I just have had some run ins with crack heads before, and they aren't anything like zombies.

Oh and to be clear, also those people who have chemical imbalances and need things like prosac, no offense meant at all. I just think a lot of times people are put on it because doctors just think a pill can fix everything, and really its just a crutch. I know that a lot of times when I got the doctor they have asked me what I felt was wrong with me. The whole time I was like, "Aren't you the doctor? Aren't you suppose to be telling me whats wrong with me?"

I once had a small anxiety attack, and I mean it was minor, and they were ready to just prescribe me any drug I wanted. I told them when I am hung over at times I get a bit anxious, and one time, I had a minor panic attack from it. I told them I didn't want the drugs. That was like 2 years ago and I have never had a panic attack since then. I just feel anxious sometimes when I am sick or hung over. I think that is a bit normal.

I agree that the blue collar worker makes this nation run. I agree that they are not zombies. They run production lines making the bullets and weapons that we all enjoy shooting. They have a purpose and more guts than I have as there is no way I could do such a repetitious job day in and day out and keep my sanity.

What scares me as a health professional is the number of children that are being drugged into complacency because some parents have not mastered the fine art of disciplining with love because they are too busy leading their busy social lives to take the job of parenting seriously. Yes, I know that there are some exceptions to this. There are some children with a real need to be drugged out of their little minds. Adults, too. But when I see 10 year olds on Prozac and 6 year olds on Risperdal ( a powerful anti psychotic drug used to treat bipolar and aggressive disorders ), I get really worried about the human race in general.

It looks as though we are raising a future generation of zombies.

Yes, im sorry to tell you this yes they are supposedly real, it actually freaked me out at some point, and the movies are getting out there more and more about the zombies, ...
Sadly, some people refuse to accept the facts that lay under there eyes, if everyone, especially people who just say that "what an idiot" and many others should be doing a bit of research and even maybe watching some Channels like Discovery, and use the internet for more knowledgeable basses, instead of msn and yahoo chatting all the time...

Now back to the subject, it's supposed to be a virus that is called "Zombititus" it supposedly originated from the tombs of Egypt from the grave robbers and archeologists came in contact with the mummies...

Anyways for certain, i cant say they are real, but too many facts out there, can more or less tell you the truth about zombies, now with that said, i wont say that zombies of killing nature and devouring the living are out there, for i cant prove it, or even say that it exists in first hand, but if everyone just took the time to think, of what horrors man has already done, how can you be so sure that it doesn't exist ?

For example, Haitian voodoo, which is basically a drugged and unaware human being. It is rumored that it originates from a fish, they poison a victim of there tribe, put him in a cassette after he dies, and leave him there for 3 days then they dig him out and he is alive again. Take away the drug, and the human regains control of their ordinary faculties, minus any brain damage from prolonged usage of the chemicals.

If they do not exist then why would a law be set out !

solanum virus

SOLANUM: THE VIRUS

Solanum works by traveling through the bloodstream, from the initial point of entry to the brain. Through means not yet fully understood, the virus uses the cells of the frontal lobe for replication, destroying them in the process. During this period, all bodily functions cease. By stopping the heart, the infected subject is rendered "dead." The brain, however, remains alive but dormant, while the virus mutates its cells into a completely new organ. The most critical trait of this new organ is its independence from oxygen. By removing the need for this all-important resource, the undead brain can utilize, but is in no way dependent upon, the complex support mechanism of the human body. Once mutation is complete, this new organ reanimates the body into a form that bears little resemblance (physiologically speaking) to the original corpse. Some bodily functions remain constant, others operate in a modified capacity, and the remainder shut down completely. This new organism is a zombie, a member of the living dead.

As for real life zombies? I grew up way south of mason dixon and we all believed in the vodoo zombies in bayou country. never actually saw one... but those scary stories.... oh my!

In a class I had, I learned about a parasite...

This parasite infects slugs. The infection causes the slug's antenna (sp?) to swell up so they look like pulsating grubs. Then - and this is the creepy part - the parasite somehow drives the slug to climb up into tall trees and sit on large, flat leaves. After waiting for a while, some bird sees the "grubs" sitting on the slug's head and comes and bites one or both off. Now, the bird is infected with the virus.

Rewind back to the parasite effectively controlling the slug's "mind."

After that, I honestly became open to the (albeit remote) possibility that some organic substance can drive humans to do things specifically to spread said substance, like bite. I don't quite think they will be truely "Max Brooks" style, as in completely dead and living for years. But I could see some virus / parasite / chemical shutting down all but only the most vital parts of the brain, and making people act like "zombies." They would most likely still be reliant on their body for survival rather than simply using it for mobility, but I could realistically see them not being aware of pain (some physical change that disables or weakens the nervous system) or even aware of danger (which could accompany the lack of higher brain function).
