Well, last year I followed the CRAP links...greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread |
and eventually got to this link.
But, of course, there's lot's more...
One of my favorites has this to say,"Not being a materialist in the U.S. is kind of like not appreciating opera if you live in Milan or art if you live in Paris. We support materialism better than any other culture. Because retailing and distribution are so efficient here, stuff is cheaper than anywhere else in the world. And then we have huge houses in which to archive our stuff."-taken a breath lately?

How true, How true. I sometimes wonder as my retirement approaches whether I am really preparing for y2k or escaping materialism.Some of both,I suspect as I return to my gardening and a simpler,less expensive, less dependent (on others,on the economy, on the government,on the monopolies) lifestyle.
