" - 46% said they would never consider purchasing emergency supplies."

Even though they believe the problem is serious. Isn't that a lot like saying they'd never move off the track, even if the train is going to hit them?

I think someone could do fascinating studies of the beliefs and behavior patterns involved in Y2k. Might it be that we're not the kooky ones after all?

Thanks, Lisa.

Just wait until word of 1999 "events" and snafoos start happening. Then we'll see another general population perception shift on the need for local preparation.
