y2k may be our generation's Pearl Harbor and Valley Forge and civil war rolled in one or maybe it will not.

As I try to focus on life going on as normal after the Rollover I am convienced it will not. After reading tons of well researched documents about y2k and then hearing the garbage misinformation campaign conducted by our govt and allowed by a corp whore media system we are facing another Pearl Harbor sometime into the new year. Countries will be way pissed at us when all the needless suffering occurs worldwide.

Our media and Govt convienced the world that y2k was not going to be a problem instead of being honest 3years ago and move the world to a higher state of readiness to get the world over the y2k hump in as humane a way as possible. They did not exibit good stewardship of the awesome resposiblity God intrusted to them when God allowed them to be in such a nobel positions of leadership of the world Govts and media. They will have to face a world and nation of extremely pissed off people after the y2k bug is fully felt. If you are a politican,media person or govt offical reading this and want to avoid the the wrath that will surely follow something as gut wrenching as a y2k full meltdown or even worse the untinkable war help your community to prepare now.

People will remeber who tried to help before the meltdown or war occurs and who stood there and lied. I pray it wont be that bad, but the mountain of evidence that is leaking out says otherwise. If you dont want to face a disgruntled populas after the fact, Have courage and demand the govt immedately preposition food, medicine and other critical supplies and insist on training our niegbors to provide community care groups now while there is 3 weeks left to do so. Many of us have elderly and infirm members in our families in other states we are conerned about that need to have there best interest looked out for. If you dont take that responsibility now our nation will consider you derlict of your duties of your high office. If you want to avoid a pearl Harbor, valley forge and civil war rolled into one do the right thing even if it is not popular. The Nation and the whole World will be watching for an example of who cares and tries to do the right things and who dont. Every little bit will help someone even at tnis late date so get commited to serving your community thru this y2k challenge. If were wrong about the scope of the challenge you will still benifit at the least win the hearts and votes of your community. Caring will Pay off big and not caring will have it's punishment. What a man sows a man will reap. You people have the power to do the right thing by the people just do it. It will be worth it.

Well said, Mike. Not very popular, but true.

Denial about Y2K is rampant now. Next year, it will be denial that someone was ever in public office!

The other day, I was thinking of how much money, food, military aid, etc, etc, etc, this country sends out of its borders to our "friends" (who always vote against us at the UN) and enemies alike. If Y2K has even a BITR effect on us, that could put the world in a tailspin by itself. "The monthly fix from that scumbag Uncle Sam didn't arrive. How dare they not send us our money!!! I knew they wanted us to starve all along!!! Let's torch some American flags until they double the food shipments and give us more missle technology!!"
