In all due respect my friend, your header should have read "WHY IT IS GREAT TO BE A GI !!!

The y2k problem is, as I have regarded it just that,not the second after 2000 problem.

The things you have learned/done will serve you well,forever.

The economic ramifications are significant and far reaching.Even without taking Cowles theory into play(that the grid could/might degrade over a period of time) or if the oil situation isn't just hunkey-dorey, there are still major bridges to be crossed, we aren't out of the woods just yet!

Something thing I would like to quickly point out, is that our grandparents and the people before them,always had large reserves and means of sustinence(sp?) as a rule of life,why is it so weird to practice this ancient custom now? Just seems like good common sense to me.

And lastly, the reason we are all GI's is that our thinking will allow us to think from the extreme to the moderate and not from the moderate to the status quo.This type of thinking is what makes you a survivor and not a victim,if you do perish it will not be because you were not prepared,it will be because of other forces beyond your control,but the majority will perish because they were NOT prepared or somewhat alert. This distinguishes you from a true polly,Hell, even Mr.Decker isn't a True Polly,IMO.he would probably survive just as well as you or I,and it's all because he's not a stupid %^$#@* nor are we ^^&(*(%$@'s,it all goes back to common sense.

Let's hope the power holds,oil flows and the market remains (?) stable.

Stay prepared.
