It's precisely because not everyone has been as diligent as you and I have
been that NBC can air this show.  Look at the Navy report.  Look at the $50
million that the US government has spent on a Y2K info center.  The closer
we get, the more convinced I am that we are in for some interesting times.
Especially if you rely on imported raw materials.
