I wouldn't say Peter was smart, but he did keep his head together for the most part. He took down a cop that was going crazy, he knew how to get around the mall with barely any wrecklessness and he's the originator for that iconic line "When there's no more room in Hell, the dead will walk the earth." If anyone is stupid it's Stephen and maybe Roger. (I still can't comprhend how a guy who starred in zombie movies, ends up being heir to an afghanistan Territory.) Stephen trying to justify his actions with Peter telling it like it is. Whilst Roger like Peter did keep a head on his shoulders, but was slowly losing it.

But the best characters in all the Dead Series, is John and Billy Boy. Because rather than try to assume the worse (a frequent gag in all the series.) Much like Sam Lawton in FD 5 and Kouichi Sakakibara in Another, rather than let death be a burden to them, they do their hardest to make the most out of life. They pretty up an old trailer and call it the Ritz. They swipe as much booze as they can carry and pretty much party almost every day when they aren't doing their respective tasks. That's pretty much what I gotten from the Dead series. Rather than focusing on the death (as well as the rising dead.) The ones that make it out alive only live their lives to the fullest.

With that said. I've been through my fair share of disasters as well. I survived 5 days in the Icestorm last December, with no power and heat. And you're right when shit hits the fan, not everyone is selfish and they do their best to help one and other out. However at the same time at least in my town, people during that event have done some desperate, stupid and selfish things the former of which was mainly to survive while the selfish part was mainly under the mentality "Not everybody makes it alive so I might as well say how I feel and leave you to die." In my town at least Romero was right, while you yourself were also right.
