<< If the media keeps harping on what are already the "old faithful" Y2K story lines, and the people have nowhere to turn to for an accurate appraisal of the situation, there will be panic. I don't think anyone wants panic, so what do we do? >> For governments and companies getting started on contingency planning; some level of panic is necessary. Question is: how much of a panic is enough to get them going? John

>> So goal #2 on the panic front would be to have some "body" that the masses trust get ready to inform the people what's happening with as much integrity as possible. It would have to be a Greenspan, or perhaps to reach the "Wheel of Fortune" crowd (LOL!), a Colin Powell.
