I pondered this, briefly. Not sure. Larry watches the monkeys and other animals die when he's sitting near the zoo and I think he even wonders about this.
I think I am going to have to call it a night. I've got editing to get back to. Thanks so much for hosting this wonderful conversation, Doc Creed! When will we be meeting again for Book Two?
Have a good night. This discussion has been fasinating to read through and follow along.
Probably around October but I am thinking about polling everyone. We don't want too much going on at once. Halloween stories coming up, holidays, etc.
Thank you for showing up. Great discussion.
Still here! Family demanding attention though. Haha!
I also wondered, like Nomik how the military would respond in today's world. Blindly follow orders to try to stop it from spreading or take a "stand" like the soldiers in the radio station?
It is frightening how disillusioned we are. Social media is #1 culprit IMO. Yet it can be a source of good things too.
Yo! Just reading everyone's comments. I really can't say much as I haven't read up on the story for a few years. Read both versions. Prefer the uncut one but the original shorter version shall forever hold a for-special place in my heart.
Oh, ok. I'm glad you came. I can't believe an hour has flown by that quickly. It has been a great discussion. Hope we get everyone back for part two.
Thanks, Spideyman and cat in a bag too.
As always, this thread will remain open for comments and I will create a fresh thread for our next meeting. I appreciate the support, everybody! Great fun.
We missed you, Nottie. not_nadine Alizesmom osnafrank
Ditto. I read the edited version first. My Senior year of high school.
Still here, but need to sign off too. Thank you Doc Creed for starting this group discussion. Totally enjoyed each input.
Reminder - SKMB will be closed the first 2 weeks of October as Marsha takes vacation--
Good night all- sleep well, dream well, be well. Stay away form the germs!!

Night Spidey,have a great night.
Move over Buzzfeed. SKMB has "Which Character Are You?" 
Just for fun, but there will be prizes to follow.
Here are the results of the preliminary drawing. If your name matches up to a survivor then you will automatically go into the final drawing which will be held at a later date. I've highlighted those in red to help. Congrats. (To meet the quota, and giving benefit to the originals who signed up, I included the absentee members.) Considering some of the earlier comments, you may find some of these funny.

Crap! Memory like a sieve. Guess I’ll have to do a Harold and watch from the bushes. I get to be Trash, I’m honored.
Because cats have nine lives.
