Getting Our Priorities Straight...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John:

Normally I would agree that the Gov't has no business poking around in business... But... If the country faces a possible major catastrophe, it has the right and obligation to marshal all the forces necessary to try to avert or minimize the effects of that catastrophe... In WW II the Gov't set up rationing and worked with manufacturers to shift from peace time to military production...

Y2k presents a big Black Hole of what could go wrong... Millions of lives (maybe yours or mine) might be put into jeopardy as a result of Food shortages, Power shortages, Medical equipment malfunctioning, Military defense systems malfunctioning, etc., etc...

I have no problem with American industry working together for the benefit of the country... If it takes the Gov't to give them a push, so be it...
