Ron, FWIW, from Bemer's website bmrsoftware.com We must have national direction! I can say this with total sincerity, while still believing in minimal Government. Correct data is vital to our wellbeing. In our haste to fix this problem we should not introduce new problems with data that does not interchange correctly. So is there another Churchill in view? Someone has to be in direct and sole charge, without any other assignments to worry about. The name I have heard proffered is Mikhail Gorbachev. Sounds good to me. He doesn't owe us much, and can't be bribed. We may not be able to settle on any single U. S. citizen, and with him we would not have to make any choices. Besides, Russia is where they originated Czars! Which is what we need now. Think of the worldwide prestige that would accrue to President Clinton if he were to make that nomination.

<< It is really quite sad to say, but I think the bull market is over and we now face, not just an economic threat, but a national security threat. Information Warfare is beginning to come into its own and the y2k issue provides the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the developed world's dependence on its flawed information systems. >> Actually, I believe that the Y2K industry here in the US has already joined computer technology and biotech as yet another American-dominated field (however short-lived). I work for a small Y2K solution provider and we're getting enormous unsolicited requests from overseas. Just wait until 6 more months go by and the critical foreign interests such as central banks wake up to the time line realities! It's going to really hit the fan overseas.
