YIKES!

The fundamentals of our economy are sound. In fact, the growth of the internet has only begun. I forsee even greater prosperity to come. Mr. Greenspan at the Fed & our advisors at Treasury assure us that while markets may fluctuate, this volatility does not negate the underlying fundamental soundness of our economy.

-- Your Leader (yourleader@thebighouse.gov), February 19, 2000.


Your Leader, I wholeheartedly agree. This is the first time in history that a civilization has built an economy on sand instead of gold. People have always had sand beneath their feet but being intellectually inferior to us they didn't realize it was much more valuable than insignificant elements like gold and silver. This developement is just one of the facets of our victory in ushering in the New Age.

And not only that, but if we FEEL that nothing is going to go wrong, it won't. After all, visualization and desire alone beat hard work and grueling routine. They said so on the TV!

-- (kb8um8@yahoo.com), February 19, 2000.

on WHAT CHANNEL did they say that? discovery, TLC, history, A&E, or one of the other new age channels?

-- tt (cuddluppy@aol.com), February 19, 2000.


Yeah, I think that I heard that on Oprah. It was the same show where Al Gore said that he invented the Internet.

Darnit, canThappen...now you've done it...I and a handfull of other savvy investors were hoping to corner the market on sand!!! After all, fiber cable is made from sand, and the demand for fiber optics is BOOMING, BOOMING, BOOMING!!!!

Of course, the trick is to invest in the right type of sand...shifting sand, quicksand, etc. Oh well. At least we got in on the ground floor ;-)

-- Tim (pixmo@pixelquest.com), February 19, 2000.


We have a can full of sand by our back door to throw on our steps so no one gets hurt. Does that mean we're rich?

Also, I thought that Bill Gates invented the internet. I think that I saw that on the Discovery Channel. Or maybe it was the history channel.
