My school is attended by near three hundred scholars.
Zombies have no memories of their former life. You wont see the undead trying to wash windows or do your taxes. All they know how to do is swarm and feed.
Since 2001, people have been scared. There's been some really scary stuff that's been happening - 911, Iraq, Afghanistan, Katrina, anthrax letters, D. C. sniper, global warming, global financial meltdown, bird flu, swine flu, SARS. I think people really feel like the system's breaking down.

I remember talking to, 40 years ago, one of the leading people in the government who was involved in arms control, pressing for arms control measures, détente, and so on. He's very high up, and we were talking about whether arms control could succeed.

If we get to that tipping point maybe arms control will work. " He was partially joking but there's a truth that lies behind it.
