I grew up worrying about nukes as well, but that's not quite the same.
With nukes, you had a very few people controlling things. With Y2K, *everyone* is directly involved, and like the saying goes, "Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups." They do things like burn cities, elect Clinton, et c.
I'm as prepared for trouble as I can be. I don't really care for the idea of being under curfew because some people go off their chumps, but I can put up with it temporarily. Unfortunately, what I've seen of the grubmint's efforts at riot control to date isn't exactly confidence-inspiring (Kent State and the Rodney Riots come to mind here).
167 days and counting...
