Jim's Quote of the Day:
"In six days--less than a week--the world turned upside down. San Francisco
became a war zone. Do you know what people do when you tell them they no longer
have rights? That an individual is
powerless? They fight. It was ludicrous to think mankind would just roll on
its back and comply. I saw my neighbors--people I've known for years--become
bloodthirsty savages. Infected, uninfected, it didn't matter. We were all driven
mad. The survival instinct went ballistic. Food, guns, medicine, blood--it
all became priceless. Worth killing for. Those who had became the targets of
the
had nots.
A city of five million people. Within a month more than half were dead. Six
weeks later, about ten thousand like me. AB Negatives. We were all determined
to live. But we didn't gather together. There was no unity. It was every man
for himself. Trust had been abolished. By the end of the year, it was me. Just
me." - Mark
Protosevich --from an
early draft of the "I Am Legend" Screenplay
