Doonesbury Say What?
Nov. 11th, 2009 09:50 am"I've had two teenagers who were considering killing themselves, because they didn't want to be around when the world ends. Two women in the last two weeks said they were contemplating killing their children and themselves so they wouldn't have to suffer through the end of the world."

I guess there's never a shortage of people like this. A friend of mine, whom I thought was fairly rational, moved to Idaho before Y2K. He bought two generators, had a year's worth of food, and who knows how many thousands of rounds of ammunition stockpiled before the year ticked over. I understand that all over the country you could pick up some really good deals on new, unused generators in January 2000 which people suddenly didn't need any more.
