I am not a computer programmer. By trade I am a simple woodsman. But, let me tell you, Y2K is systemic - It cannot possibly be fixed. Add to this the Unverified Rumor of Blocking the Los Angelos Freeway System. and it is obvious that Y2K is systemic - It cannot possible be fixed. Now to make matters even worse we have an Unnoficial Confirmation of an Unverified Rumor. And if that is not bad enough, we have an Even Grimmer Unverified Confirmation of Unverified Freeway Story. Now explain to me - WHY DO THE DGI's STILL NOT GET IT? I'm sure in the next few days we will have an Unconfirmed Verification of an Ugly Person Unofficialy Agreeing With a Grim Unverified Rumor That There Was A Public Offical Offically Speaking Off The Record About The Unprovable Rumor of the Secret Hidden Y2K Command Center in Los Angeles That Is Unverifiably No Secret At All But Was Actually Well Documented And Was Built A Few Decades Ago and THE DGI'S WILL STILL DGI! You can show these DGI's unconfirmed photos of the POW camps ON AMERICAN SOIL
.
The DGI's won't even believe you when you show them unoffical pictures of the white boxcars that are actually Prisoner Holding Cells
.
They only LAUGH when you show them unverified pictures of Old School Busses Painted White Stenciled With The Letters UN on the Sides That Will Transport The UN Troops Around Town So They Can Throw Us Into Their POW Camps

I am OFFICIALLY but UNVERIFIABLY giving up on trying to convert DGI's into GI's, but I doubt you will be able to CONFIRM this.

Butt:

I have to chuckle at this stuff. OK, should the government form contingency plans to handle emergencies? If the answer is NO, then of course we all attack them for pulling the wool over our eyes, failing to see the obvious, not following through with efforts that clearly might be needed, and generally being clueless. After all, if the problem cannot be fixed, doesn't it make sense to do everything we can to be prepared to deal with it? Isn't the government criminally derelict in its duties if they ignore the inevitable?

If we answer YES, then the goverment has become evil (or more accurately, is demonstrating how evil they've been all along) and is grabbing power and curtailing our freedoms.

Government agencies have long had plans (and sometimes needed them) to handle evacuation of barrier islands in case of hurricanes. This involves blocking highways to allow emergency vehicles access to the emergencies. Similarly, the creation of a central command and communications site to coordinate relief efforts in case of earthquake is quite farsighted and sensible. The evil government has even called out the National Guard to help shovel snow after a blizzard (happened this past winter, in fact). Scandalous!

So here we have yet another case of: the government is bad. Whatever they did is wrong. Now, what did they do?

I don't live too far from a couple military bases, and I could trot down there, get some photos of some U2's and Stealths, some army tanks, and maybe some empty barracks and them come back here make up some cock n' bull story with no proof other than pictures and see how many would swallow it. Problem is, 99.9% of everyone on this board are too smart and what kind of credibility would I be left with? I would be heckled off this board. And as for convincing people about Y2K, give it up, people's minds have been made up already, it's a nonissue with me.

"If you've read all 70,000+ messages on this forum and concluded that, to the best of your knowledge and experience, Y2K is going to be a non-event (aka bump in the road, winter-snowstorm, or whatever the phrase du jour happens to be), then it seems to me that you might as well say to yourself, "Well, I may be wrong, and I may rue the decision a few months from now, but I've decided that I don't have to pay attention to Y2K." And at that point, it seems to me that you should bid adieu to the forum and go back to whatever you were doing beforethe ongoing arguments about whether Y2K is going to be a "0" versus a "10" on the scale are getting pretty boring at this point"

Thanks Wanda for reminding us of Ed's quote. Maybe we should post it every once in a while as a reminder to the trolls and skeptics who insist on wasting time with nonsense.

All they have is one bus?..JUST ONE..how are they gonna pick us all up if they only have one bus...Idiots like you should be taken out back and put out of our misery..

my favorite is the Blue Bird company school bus (see that logo the top of the bus?) - if you look closely at the picture, you'll see that the letters were put on by someone standing by the wheelwell...invasion school buses - what a hoot!
