Ron: I'm not going to argue with you. Don't argue! Debate! Debate! Debate! I have invited you to debate on a number of points,including those you raised. Instead, all you do is give unrelated data, make general conclusions, but give nothing to support them; apparently, unless someone else agrees with you, you first avoid the point of discussion, then use labels, then wanna go home and take your marbles with you. Not intelligent or beneficial discussion, at all. You're obviously spending too much time reading Gary North's website. Another example of avoiding the point of discussion in favor of including something totally unrelated. We'll pick up the pieces, put 'em back together, and "drive on" with or without you. What is the purpose of this metaphor? Ken, it seems you're a defeatist, plain and simple. I'm sorry to be so harsh, but your words denote you have already surrendered to your fears without knowing what will or will not happen on Jan 1st Here we have one of the last refuges of the denialists- labeling, coupled with the usual "no one knows" uninformed nothingness of it all.. OK, I'll play...you being a closet denialist, really are wasting your time on a serious y2k forum. Instead, you should be reading the mainstream media about how okey-dokee it all is, and participating on a forum discussing the 2000 election candidates, studying long-term growth stocks to invest in, and making plans to invest in a house! Oh, and don't forget your travel plans to Asia for new years! we see our economy dragged back to a 1970's level I have really got to know how you arrived at this one! Please give me your reasoning behind your selection of that period! .... Then I would possess two of them.... <VBG> I would recommend something else to wager than a barn, espically if you would win! How long do you think it would take you to put out the fire in one barn, when the fire department just may not heed your smoke signals for help (which you will be relegated to using when 911 and telecom is out) due to water utilities being down, much less two barns? My suggestion? If you want to wager something, wager something like storage foods! ken "its too late, its too interconnected, its too interdependent, and its too global!" Regards,
