Energyplay, I don't really know for sure about Y2K. Something about it just didn't "smell right". Strange guys who had been in the "alien abduction" seminar business were all of a sudden writing books on the subject; now all of a sudden they were experts on the banking system and high finance and more. I was then living in a place where the power was out much of the time, even in the capital city, with "rolling brownouts" most days. Yet, as soon as the power came back ATM's worked instantly and there was never a single problem to my knowledge. So why couldn't the USA manage? I shouldn't complain though, because the hype put me in a very defensive frame of mind about stock investments and I would up selling evey single one and not one of them is back to where they were then. Maybe there is a lesson in that for now. Global warming hype is a pretty "bad smelling" occurrence and should be a warning of sorts, I think. But the problem now is that it has so many rivals for for first place in the "bad smell" department. You have Iraq, maybe Iran, housing, hedge funds, CMO's, CDO's and many others, derivatives, Shrub, Hillary, Obama, North American Union, the "Amero", Putin, outsourcing, and many more. YIKES, things are out of whack. TJ is right, I think. Buy Gold. Slagle I believe
