Haven't seen anyone here apologizing for being a Pollyanna yet.

You mean about Y2K?

AppyPappy, Mormons who've had food storage, water storage, and (if they can afford them) generators all along were glad for Y2K because it meant our neighbors got prepared too. Right now that's something to be thankful for! Everybody who prepared for Y2K is a lot readier for WWIII! Should it get that bad. I hope it doesn't.

Actually, I do recall some of the Y2K-ers being appropriately sheepish when their worst fears didn't come to pass. In that respect, they seem to be more rational than the "biowar cannot be happening because it's too terrible to be true and bad things never happen to good people" crowd.
