KC: Re: "Y2K and anthrax, is it apple and orange? Y2K, fear something would happen, but turned out non event. Anthrax, it is real, it is on going, never stops, not until everyone is vaccinated if it is available, 1 person is already dead, and could get worse." Think again. One person dead? Well, how many died in the Y2K scare? I would bet at least one. And how many people are killed in traffic accidents in one day? How many people are murdered in one day? Has anthrax really changed things? No way. The anthrax threat/scare is one big cruel joke we are playing on ourselves over and over and over again in trying to convince ourseleves that this has changed the world in any manner up to this point. It has not. It is just more of the same in a different package.

Dozens of people were murdered tonight, some by family, some by friends, some by complete strangers for no good reason. Dozens more were killed in senseless car wrecks and dozens more in other accidents. And we are supposed to go nuts over a marginal threat and "vaccinate" everyone with the 18-month treatment required to be effective at all? "Could get worse" was the rallying cry for Y2K until it was clear that reasonable measures prevented a calamity much better than panic. Maybe all that Spam and bottled water in the underground shelters finally came in handy at a BBQ this summer. And the Y2K stocks had spiraled into oblivion, FWIW.
