Ask Lindsey's defenders on FR. And all the FReepers who still listen to Gary North, even after 12/31/99.

On Free Republic?

I'm shocked!

Ask Lindsey's defenders on FR. And all the FReepers who still listen to Gary North, even after 12/31/99.

During the first week of the year 2000, Gary North issued a public apology to the world at large, and a blunt confession that he had been wrong about Y2K. He took a sabbatical from public life for a while, but later began publishing essays on culture and economics on lewrockwell.com.

Now it is possible that the Y2K hype was a self-canceling prophecy. To some extent, the "dot com bubble" was fueld by Y2K remediation, a massive preventive investment in Information Technology.

Being a dispensationalist means never having to say you are sorry. As each marriage and book ages out, Hal Lindsey recycles it. Re-writes the book, with new names and dates to carry the same tired plot line. Trades in the wife for a younger model. He's on marriage number 4 at the moment -- but I've lost count of how many times he's re-written The Late Great Planet Earth.

There is apparently a market for that kind of tripe. Something about being a cheerleader for Satan's team must engage our imaginations, and appeal to the fallen Adam within us all.
