Ken, thanks for posting those gold links on gold-eagle, but I've already read all of them over the last 5 years. Any more links? I try to read everything I can on the Internet concerning Gold. It appears that as we get closer to the Year 2000, the Polyanna forces will mobilize and become more vocal. As the clock ticks down and the situation possibly becomes more serious and dangerous, the Polyannas will probably be holding demonstrations stating everything is A OK! They will be telling us that " we are living in the best of all possible worlds." ( Leibnitz ) The moral here is never underestimate what a Polyanna will say or do! Keep up the great Work! You are a life saver! You may even go down in history as single handily saving many people from death. Thanks.

I just found my state's Y2K page. The preparations they recommend are similar to preparing for a hurricane. lay2k.com Also, I have a very practical question. How do I persuade my wife that we ought to make lifestyle changes and preparations for Y2K? She thinks I'm overreacting. In a casual conversation at a bar today, everyone there , except me, expressed the opinion that it is all hype to get people to buy products that they won't need. I like to say "I told you so", but not when we are sitting in a house with no food, heat or water. Or, if we do make preparations and our families and friends don't, I don't cherish the thought of turning people ( especially family ) away, because we don't have enough food or water for everyone. I guess I'll just have to go buy stuff and tell her after. It's easier to get forgiveness than agreement some times.
