My thoughts on zombies and the culture they have created.

Zombies have become quite popular with my 25-35 generation. Something about them just makes it so very interesting. Being a man of science and logical thought, it's a pretty big stretch for me to believe that one day our world would become over run by these brain eating crawlers. When taking into account at what zombies are it's very difficult to justify their existence. But in the end it's just down right exciting.

I believe that the underlying principals of such an event foreshadow a large scale biological disaster which in today's climate is very real. Understanding and accepting this fact, it has become part of the social subconscious. We just have to put a picture of something which is not so grim... Zombies. All in all I feel like preparing for the future zombie apocalypse is the same for my generation as it was for those in the cold war era, we just have a much more entertaining adversary... Even though we might never encounter them.
