Hark, Hark, is that the glare of electric light bulbs in the far east. Do I hear telephones ringing in New Zealand. Is that the pitter pat of money sputtering out of atm's in Australia. It appears that our modern life styles will continue into the millenium. All is clear, the survivalist can come out of their bunkers, slip the magazines out of their weapons, store their bottled water, and drive with abandonment to use up some of that flammable gasoline they have stored.
I am waiting for the sound of two crashes, the first, the ball coming down in time square, and secondly, the price of gold retreating as bars are thrown at the market.
