Y2K.

The end of the world according to some.

My view was that it was the last best chance society had to redeem itself. Opinions varied but that was my opinion and I expected and was prepared for the worst....I still am but that's just a matter of habit so it was no big change.

By this time, I expected the weak to have been weeded out and order to have been fully restored. Taxes would be lower. Families would be closer. Life would be simpler.

It is a good time we live in now. In spite of all that has happened, it is still a good time to be alive.

With all the ECMs lately, a lot of us can identify with at least the part of having no TV:cool:

Anybody have any thoughts on this? Not that I need to remind you but do feel free to rant and rave about it.;)

My thoughts are that society is trying to redeem itself, right now. That's why there is, largely, worldwide support for the war on terrorism. The worst (so far) occurred when the terrorists attacked on Sept. 11. Since that time, the world has grown closer, especially here in America. Families have gotten closer, and the weak are being weeded out right now in Afghanistan. After that, it's on to Iraq. After that, it's on to the next terrorist hot spot. The majority of the world is trying to clean up society right now, and make it a better place for us all. I'm still waiting on the lower taxes, though. :cool:
