The supply chain in food or oil can be broken down at anyone of a dozen points along the line to where it gets to it's final destination. It will not all be fixed in time if ever. The loss of both food and oil in our economy will result in the creation of anarcy and social-economic collapse. Throw in the confusion from loss of power,railroads, banking, water distibution, and telecommunications and you must face the fact that we are toast. IF ANY ONE OF THESE SYSTEMS FAIL THAN THAT'S IT-GAME OVER!! You can bet that at least one, if not all of these fail utterly. Make your preperations with this in mind-can you be self-sufficient for two or more years? If so how will you keep what you have from those who are not?

JANUARY 1, 2002. 50% of the US population has died from either, hunger, thirst or cold. Millions have been buried in their back yards and open fields. Too many deaths for the cemetaries to handle! A 50% reduction in population in the US has devastated the Real Estate market. Millions of empty houses and appartments in the US causes rock bottom prices in the cost of homes and rent. The car dealerships are bulging with used cars at rock bottom prices. Too many cars and not enough people! However, no new cars have been produced since January 1, 2000. Freeway driving is normal again without any traffic jams. Plenty of food is available, since there are fewer pewople to eat it. Big cities like New York City has a population loss of over 80%. WHERE ARE ALL THE PEOPLE???? NO MORE TRASFFIC JAMS IN NEW YORK CITY!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

Let this be a warning to those living in big cities. Either get out no, or get out later. Either way, you get out!!! IT'S YOUR CHOICE, HOW IT'S DONE!!! HOWEVER IF YOU STAY, THERE IS NO TELLING WHERE YOU WILL END UP!!! If I were you, I would get out now, so you can enjoy the good life with fewer people and no more jerks honking at you and flipping you off on the freeway!

Your passion's in the right place, but with all those dead folks lying in people's back yards, there's this little thing that will put a damper on your post Y2K plans to eat, drink and be driving unimpeded....

It's called DISEASE and FAMINE.

Think Africa for a post y2k America. Study how most live in Africa and you may get a feeling for how it could be here. The horror, the horror ......
