	Reader Feedback By Bloda@aol.com May 20, 1999 People take Y2K seriously, make fun of it, or could care less. In a world where "survival" requires bricks of gold, canned food, and weapons to kill anything which attempts to get near your "stuff", could you imagine the chaos if there's just a little problem? If power goes out for a short period of time, people are going to go nuts. For example, power fails on January 1st. People go berzerk. For the criminally minded, it's a field day. For the "prepared survivalists" it's open season on anyone who comes near their house. For the others, chaos, despair, death, etc. In the middle of all the chaos, the power hums back into life on January 4th. Electricity is restored, heat works again, everything can be fixed to be Y2K compliant now... alas, the people are busy with their little riots. The United States will look like a big, fat baby sitting in it's diaper filled with crap, unable to do anything except cry. My point: I'm nervous a small inconveniance will escalate into a society-fulfilled warzone. My 2 cents.... -Erik		FEATURES Book Reviews Y2K already has spawned its own genre.
