http://www.critt.c om/cw/week51.html#EMBEDDED: The latest version of my paper contains the update on counter overflows I mentioned previously, a correction from 0.01 % to 0.001 % in citing a GartnerGroup study and an update on the Crouch-Echlin effect.

http://www.critt .com/cw/week51.html#struggling: Many people in positions of leadership and authority are struggling for a coherent strategy for responding to y2k: they are asking "what are the goals, the vision, the means, the organization?"

http://www.critt.com/ cw/week51.html#local: our work is to help local markets emerge, make them honest fair and fun, not to treat people and communities as though they need our services as providers to dependents.

http://www.critt.com /cw/week51.html#skills: And of course local skills of organizing, negotiating, leading, caring, will much more valuable.

http://www.critt.c om/cw/week51.html#politics: The emergent reality here in the y2k story is politics.

http://www.critt.co m/cw/week51.html#cit2con: It turns citizens who own their government into consumers who are dependents.

http://www.critt.co m/cw/week51.html#plywood: The problem I see all over the world is the plywood effect. We are a society of glued together layers. The top has a view, but instead of being organically related to the bottom, it is organically related sideways.

http://www.critt.com/ cw/week51.html#Legal: Legal implications of y2k

http://www.cri tt.com/cw/week51.html#PERSPECTIVES: The following by Cynthia Beal is so important I want to quote at length. "One item I've seen go virtually unaddressed is the challenge people have when asked to "follow instructions".

http://www.critt.com/ cw/week51.html#Agree: helps explain some of the anxiety about the forces behind y2k ideology, and the tendency towards polarizations.
