It's my belief that what is happening RIGHT NOW is Y2K, or at least the beginning of it. The ridiculous thing I DIDN'T buy back then was one of the many large generators people were selling. Wish I had. My two are kind of small.
I agree with you. The only reason I am getting rid of stuff rather than stockpiling is that I plan to move as soon as we can sell our house and buy a new one. I'm very nervous that the next terrorist attack will happen while we do not have a place to go. Oh well, it certainly won't keep me from moving!
