Remember just one year ago? Y2K had many in a dither. The sky was to fall. Water was to dry up. Food was to be scarce. Bank accounts were to be inoperative. Many real, real "spiritual" believers were hunkered down in their bunkers just waiting to be proved right and spiritual. Remember those folks who told us to store hundreds of gallons of water. They told us to store enough food for six months. They told us to have at least $2000 in cash on hand. They told us to be prepared with alternate methods of heating. They told us to buy gas-powered electric generators to keep our refrigerators running. They told us, if we were smart, we should have our own personal stores of gasoline.
