I guess we would just have to agree to disagree. All the research I have been doing (a lot!) leads me to believe that the computer "disruption" will be far more severe than simply requiring commercial farms to do things a little differently. How will they manage to continue to grow when they have no way to get it to the people? And the people have no way to pay? No trains running, no trucks, no financial transactions, little or no communications, the only food to be had will be from backyard farms (IMO). The trigger effect is more serious than most can comprehend. Food availability will be THE most important issue when 2000 hits. In my opinion, a couple of months into the new millennium people will be eating their pets. I have about a thousand links to back up these statements, but it would extremely time consuming to try and list the pertinent ones. I suggest following the other SI Y2K thread: Subject 16203
If you still do not agree, then so be it.........we shall know soon enough.
