o.h., i read with curiousity your following statement: Seems that our government is much more concerned with the potential problems of "overreaction" (e.g., spot shortages) than with the potential of under-preparation (e.g., civil disorder, starvation, etc.). An extraordinary gamble in my opinion.

would you please define what 'spot shortage' concerns you have heard the 'government' mention its concerns over? and where such concerned mentions took place? and who uttered said concerned utterances?

maybe those of us scanning the horizon trying to ascertain the first sign of "civil disorder, starvation, etc." would know what sector to pay the most attention to.

are there any eo's or pdd's that address 'spot shortages' that you are aware of?

i am most assuredly aware of the eo's and pdd's that deal with impending y2k civil disorder, for example. i don't believe i'm aware of ANY eo's and pdd's that deal with 'starvation', thirst, nakedness, etc.

and i'm aware of the legislation limiting attorney's fees to $1,000 per hour in the y2k legislation currently feared by all those lousy lawyers who couldn't get real jobs that have been sent to the hill as our representatives, (and most went 'over the hill and round the bend' while they were up there as far as i'm concerned, and that applies to their thousands of lackey's and lobbyists who support their flatulence on the hill.)

standing buy for your enlightening response.
