What a tempest in a teapot!  Intellectual arguments, but
irrelevant because:

1.  No one is sure of the date of the birth of Christ (most probably in
    the Spring of 4 BC, by our current calendar.

2.  The reason for the consternation is the flip to a century date of
    20 instead of 19, MAY cause a lot of problems because of the use
    of computers.  THAT is the real problem, not whether it is the
    start of the second millennia or not.

refrigerator).

I will fill up a gallon jug of water tomorrow and then they can bring it
on!

But that is all insurance just in case; actually I predict a non-event
here
in the USA.
