Survival of The Fittest

Survival of the Fittest: A 19th-century concept of human society, inspired by the principle of natural selection, postulating that those who are eliminated in the struggle for existence are the unfit. 
(Definition Courtesy of www.dictionary.com) 
     When Charles Darwin originally coined this term he was looking at the cause and effect of Natural Selection. Darwin spent a great deal of time cataloging, observing and recording  nature in his field journals. His observations were that in each piece of nature the small and unfit were consumed  and such at the bottom of the Eco Chain. As an example mice would be considered at the bottom of the food chain. However a Lion on the other hand would be at the head of the food chain. There is no one other predator more dominant than the lion. 
     The lion stalks it's prey stealthy. The lion knows it's a predator it knows it rules. The lion doesn't ask for what it wants he takes it. He is dominate and powerful and mean. He will rip your heart out and eat it. The lion doesn't care about resources; he doesn't worry about preparing. He just ravages the land taking what it wants when there is nothing left the lion moves on to a new pride holding and takes over that area. 
      Now the only thing the lion fears is man and his ability's to kill him dead in his tracks. How do you kill a predator? The only methods God Gave US. GUNS! The lion, the bear, the predator, your next door neighbor, your brother down the road who sponges off the welfare system, the police who were sworn to protect you. You see anyone can be the Lion and anyone can be man, but the difference is who are you going to choose to be? Lion the predator or man the prepared? 
      Scenario for perspective: Your county has been hit by a tornado that has flattened most of the city, left people homeless, there is no food and no water, on top of all of this the tornado has taken out half of the prison that is a half a mile from where you live. You learn from the radio that with portions of the walls taken out by the twister inmates are escaping the prison. All of the locked cell doors have opened because they are on electronic locks which malfunctioned because of the great power surges. The guards are easily out numbered and can not get to any arms because the area has been blocked by debris. The only things the guards can do to save themselves is to lock themselves in a manual lock-down cage until the Calvary arrives. Inmates see the guards are no threat to them and so 50% of the prison population is loose in your county. 
       You choose to be Man and be prepared. Your home was spared the disaster because it was very heavily fortified concrete blocks and steel. You also have caches of food, medicine, water, power, fuel, guns, and ammunition. You see from your look out post that people are wandering aimlessly trying to get anything and everything they can to survive. There is a party of five people with pipes, bats, crow bars, and knives coming towards your home. You see them go into your neighbors home and break in pull your neighbor out start to beat her and trying to rape her. Man fires one warning shot into the air and yells for the Lion the predator to stop. The predator looks your way and ignores you. The second shot is through the forehead which blows the back half of his head off. The lion is down. 
          See the lion can be a true lion in the jungles of Africa, or it can be ordinary people pushed to do incredibly stupid things in an emergency situations where they are not prepared. They then turn into the lions the predators who take what they want when they want to survive. So are you going to be the hunter or the hunted? Are you going to be a man or a lion? 
Where are you going to go?
