Most of the "major news stories" have been geared to distract the average
mindless American into thinking they need the federal Government. The Y2K
farce was a good example of that. Personally I really hope that some
government faction did not allow the Terrorists a victory for that very reason.
Of course to even suggest such a thing is "completly preposterous" and
"unAmerican." I find the notion that someone could have made that decision
nausiating. The rational part of my brain would not be surprised though.
