Please reply to my personnal address, I am not on CPunks. Is there anybody who knows about the Y2K situation in Canada? Should we infer that the situation will be the same here or were any preparation steps taken by out govt that will postpone our contry's alledged fall by 2 microseconds (time for any major economic catastrophy in the US to reach us here) Ciao jfa "You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against -- then you'll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We're after power and we mean it. Your fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. Once declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted -- and you create a nation of law-breakers---and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system...that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be easier to deal with." Ayn Rand
