If all the people who knew how to run the place just disappeared, the place would soon stop running!. Food and water would soon be lost!. The loss of TV and radio would be the least of the problems!.

There would be mass starvation, especially of the very young!. There would be no one to teach the young so all the civilization and thought that had been accumulated for thousands of years would be lost!. Those who survived would have short and brutal lives!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

All I can think about is Lord of the Flies!.!.!.!.

Alan as for what you said though, all children aren't mindless idiots that need adults to teach them everything!. (Though probably most are!.!.!.!.!.!.that's depressing!.) I dropped out of a very bad inner city school and educated myself!. Books wouldn't just disappear!. We'd probably lose a lot of information though!. Maybe I am just being too optimistic!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

People would take two paths, killing eachother or taking on the role of adults!. The more mature would do the latter, of course!. And most babies would die!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
