Panic is an emotion that left unchecked, can harm more than harm needs to be.....undoubtedly, we have entered a scary arena..because none of us know the true effects in a few weeks. If the government is doing all they can to forestall a panic and self-fulfilling prophecy, I see no harm in that.

The probable cause of Y2K is exacerbated because of the new millenium, the overinflated stock market, and a host of other things....but to consider that a bunch of terrorists will move in during this time....if it is as bad as some feel it will be...a bunch of terrorists will have a crazed and scared public on their hands...what would be the point? It's stupid...really. If Y2K affect this country, then the rest of the countries will be in far worse shape...because they haven't the means and capital to prevent it. they spent no money...

I think the effects of Y2K will be ....who knows?
