Where is Gary North??

Where is Gary North hiding tonight? I wanted to see him on my un - interupted cable television broadcast explaining how all of his predictions have actually come true but we just cannot see the effects.

By the way, regarding East Texas near Henderson experiencing power fluctuations: I lived in that area. If the power were stable that would be news!

I imagine Gary North is home with his family on New Year's Eve. Why should he make himself available to the likes of you?

Gary North is probably spending all that money he made off his Y2K- fearmongering site. WAIT, oh yea, THAT's right, he sold NOTHING on his site. 100% free, 5 to 10 hours a day working, proving ONLY evidence, the VAST MAJORITY WAS NEVER REFUTED BY THE AUTHORITIES.

Things seem okay all over the world in many huge countries that spent only a FRACTION of what America spent. Citibank was foolish spending over $800 million fixing a problem that was not a problem. Citibank is not foolish. Are YOU smarter than Citibank's officers? I bet you think you are.

Today's results are wonderful but not fully explainable from the EVIDENCE.

OK: Here is my stance. Y2K prep was not stupid, it was prudent. I expect there will be a few problems we have not seen yet but the world is not coming to an end! What I object too are the kooks like Gary North going out and fear mongering. I have read on here about people sitting in their homes with a loaded gun just waiting to switch over to their generator whether the pwer goes off or not! Others I have read about have quit their jobs thinking this was the end of the world. Gary North sold nothing on his website but fear.

He tapped into the fears of the most paranoid among us and raised those fears to a fever pitch for his own personal gain. By that, I mean as much for his own personal ego gratification more than I mean financial. He probably beleives all of the stuff he wrote himslef. I don't doubt it but he does have victims he is responsible for even if half of what he predicted comes true.

Preparing = Prudent Becoming an obsessed sociatal drop out over this = 1. Probably manipulated and scared into by the likes of North 2. A life that will need re-building after the "danger" has past. That is the true destruction that will be the legacy of Y2K.

North has helped fuel some of that and his "contribution" should be noted.
