Oh, please Cheeke, more Rat articles! Please oh please! Espically any with these quotes-

JIT is just a fiction.

America no longer needs trains, except for sightseers.

Shut down the reactors? Easy, piddling, 4 hours max!

Y To Kauptyou will cause the Dow to go up to 14,800, easily!

I'd fly myself on Jan 1, except my wife won't let me

Am I buying storage foods myself? Nope, my readers gave me 2 years worth.

Division of labor has no relationship to Y to Kaputyou.

US is first, followed by England, Canada, Russia, China, Venezuela, Gabon,Ethopia, Zaire, Ukraine, Armenia, and Indonesia. All the others will be totally complaint by September 30.

Oil shortages? Who cares? Fewer cars on the streets means we can solve our smog problem!

No electricity for a few weeks? No big problem! Actually, will be healthy...kinda like the industrial equivalent of doing a yearly fast...cleans out the system, you see.

Leap year problems? Can't happen, guaranteed! The proof is that the last time we had a leap year, there were no more glitches than normal.

Bank runs? No way, its never happened in human history!

Embedded systems shutting things down is a right-wide conspiracy!

Software glitches in banking systems? That's a left-wing conspiracy!
Can't happen in America, possibly only in some jungle tribal village!

Using 2 dates instead of 4 was started decades ago by Moslem terrorists to take control of America- but, they didn't realize that it would never become a problem later.

Russian launching nukes at us when their radar screens go blank?
gosh, do you think that could happen? Why didn't I think of this myself? Well, the fix for that is just telling them to trust us!

Should we launch nukes at them if our screens go blank? Ah, no! Let's trust them! After all, we are all good buddies now!

The Chinese have a right to steal our nuke secrets! After all, we stole a lot of their secrets first! Which ones did we steal of theirs? Peiking Duck, Sweet and Sour Pork. Cashew Chicken.......

Are we going to initiate Martial law? Do you mean like the Marshall Plan?

Disruptions in food supplies next year? Impossible! Don't you know that every major city has warehouses for all of the major grocery markets that store enough food for 60 days for the entire population?

All these rumors of glitches occuring this year are all totally unfounded! They are all made up by cultists!

That story going around about Los Angeles having 4 million gallons of sewage on the streets was a total fabrication...my cousin works there and he said it was 4 gallons, and it was actually just mud flowing downstream after a rainstorm.

All these banks and companies supposedly spending hundreds of millions of dollars to fix their systems is just a myth! They just wanted tax write-offs so they wouldn't have to pay taxes and dividends. The monies they spend on this is a tax write-off, isn't it?

Will there be problems with freezing weather if the electricity goes off next year? No way! In fact, I hear that 2000 will be the warmest year on record because of the greenhouse effect! Its not supposed to be below 64 degrees in any city in America until at least 2003! At least, that is what my auntie Gertrude told me, and she can tell weather for years in advance by whether her joints ache or not.

Will there be problems with heat if the electricity goes off next year because of this heat wave that will last for years and no one can have air-conditioning ? Well, maybe you didn't know it, but its been proven that it is very healthy for the human body to sweat! Next question?

What happens if the grid goes down and there is no electricity for 6 months or more? Absolutely nothing! After all, humans lived without electricity for thousands of years! Besides, doesn't a back-to-nature, a more simple life style have any appeal to you? Don't you just long for the good old days when all you had to do was light some logs to cook food? Doesn't using candles have a romantic appeal to you?
Me, I can't wait!

Think of how much more work we can get done if the phones don't work and we don't have to be on them all the time!

Gas rationing? Actually, I really love horseback riding, don't you?

You know, I don't care at all if the planes are grounded! I hate the noise!

You are worried that there won't be any buses or subways running next year if there are serious disruptions? Don't be! They are such impersonal ways of traveling anyway! Besides, buggies are much safer-you wouldn't have to worry about riding with gangbangers to work.

I think it would be the best possible thing for our country if the world supply lines are disrupted! I've always said that 'made in America' is what made us great! If I had my way, we wouldn't use any labor or parts from overseas!

Cyberterrorism? Can't happen! No one would be that mean!

The internet cannot possibly be affected by any Y To Kaputyou glitches! Didn't you know that the internet works on micro-waves ? A lot of people don't know this! So, even if the entire grid goes down, and transportation goes down, and banking goes down, you can still order products on the internet.

I think everyone is worrying too much! Be happy everyone!
