Loggers Brace for Possible Early Arrival of G2K

For the past two and half years doomsayers in the logging industry have warned about the potential destruction of G2K. According to them G2K will cause all chain saws to go quiet and all machinery in the wood mills to come to a screeching halt. However, with all talk of impeachment in Washington the logging industry fears that G2K (Gore 2000) will arrive much earlier than expected.

"The danger of an early arrival of G2K has many of us worried." says Logging Industry executive Buzz Chopem. "We thought that we had at least two years to prevent this crisis. But now with Congress considering the impeachment of President Clinton we realize that end may arrive sooner than we had expected. Therefore, we are doing everything that we can to stop its arrival."

BNN has learned that lobbyists for the logging and timber industries are asking Republican members of Congress to delay and prolong impeachment proceedings. Their hope is that by dragging the hearings out over the next year and a half that G2K can be averted."

If President Clinton finishes out his term in office then the logging industry plans revert to their original plan to stop the G2K threat. Said Chopem, "Since there is no way for the logging industry to become "G2K compliant" we are willing to pay millions of dollars to the Republican party to prevent G2K's arrival. This may sound selfish of us. But most people don't realize that by saving ourselves from G2K that we are in effect saving the entire U.S. economy."
