"What would a successful EMP attack look like? The EMP Commission, in 2008, estimated that within 12 months of a nationwide blackout, up to 90% of the U.S. population could possibly perish from starvation, disease and societal breakdown."

Oh, and stop trashing the 1800's, there was a lot not so bad about that time, sure the state of medicine was more primative, but life was a lot more honest and had less government intrusion, that's for sure!
