An excerpt from Mr Barnum...uh, North:

"I hope you will continue to send donations to ICE, "

Somewhat O/T, but does this guy North realize he's a nut?

i don't think anyone should be casting stones. another thread here said that he (g north)claimed to be a prophet, and then several people were saying they could never support someone like that. i responded that on his y2k site he never made any such claim to my knowledge, and i did read a lot of his site. nothing ever gave me that impression. so now i went and read this rather lengthy article and while i don't agree with every point of his theology, i certainly am more convinced than ever that he never considered himself a prophet. read it yourself before you judge. this is a very sincere and honest man and if he erred on the side of caution, so what. he followed his conscience. i believe he was sincerely trying to help others and i believe that in fact he did. i have seen very few people comment that they are sorry for the preparations they made. and if people are regretting it now and if they based their entire decision on what one man said, then i think they are very foolish. there were plenty of others who believed the same thing or had very similar views. not everyone, however, was as vocal about it. also, if you will read this site you will see that mr north does not get any money from it. he never got any from his y2k site either. there were other sites that did charge money. this also appears to be a letter that is meant for a certain readership and not for the general public. so say what you will, i don't really think you have a leg to stand on. it's easy to make fun of people, it's sad when other people go along without even knowing the details or circumstances. it doesn't matter if things didn't happen as he thought they would. let us just be glad they didn't, and continue to watch so that we can be prepared both spiritually and physically for whatever may come. if there is no disruption in the economy, great. you will enjoy it more knowing that if something should occur you are not totally dependent on others. i continue to support gary north's effort as an act of concern for his fellow man.

Gary North might be a hero, but he is not even tall enough to tie Mike Adam's shoe laces.
