Zombies are People, too?

What if the Ghouls were people?

Would they then be a protected minority or an endangered species? Would you be in trouble with the PC police for denigrating them as a mere species? Would you get reprimanded for a hate crime if you shoot them in the head? Could you get in trouble with the EPA if you hunt down and brain tap the filthy beasts?

Are the Zombies simply misunderstood? They're not hideous undead ghouls, but metabolically challenged voters. (And aren't obese people 'metabolically challenged.' Are brains high in calories? how effective is 'rotting' for slimming down your figure? Is brains an accepted ingredient for Atkins?)

Would they still be an oppressed minority when there are 6 billion of them stalking the planet, preying on the living?



As an aside: Where, in the shopping mall, do you put the Thunderdome when you start a mini-civilization inside after blockading modern America's cathedral to consumer excess?

Gotta mete out justice somehow. Even after the apocalypse.





Update: Are Mike Vanderboegh and Sebastian from Snowflakes in Hell gonna have face each other in the Thunderdome? Can't we all just get along?
