Whew! Made it to '02 finally.

What a long near end
fiasco that was, glad its over.

by Joe B.

Is it me or did the world experience a global "glad this year's over, let's move on" feel to the end of 2001?

The two good things are 'Select President G.W. Bush showed grit over the bombing but between Mr. Att. Gen. Ashcroft's "Patriot Bill" for our alphebet law enforment to overdose on wiretapping every phone in "free america" and controlling the CyberNet virtual world.

A Global Gasp eminated is heard from America and all countries affected had a harsh wake up call we're still reeling from.

People wanted to so leave 2001 because of Sept. 11th that we may forget what prompted the tragedy in the first place and that the danger is still waiting. Vice 'Prez D. Cheney, could be in some high- tech hospital hidden bunker, getting a pacer upgrade or replaced with a better model.

Our 80's-90's-00 rocket-to-future, breakneck, quick, planned obsolete speed-of Life andE-Business etiquette has slowed because of that imfamous date making us pause, think, reflect, and for many take stock of our harried lives. I hope we continue thinking and re-
flect and not move on too quickly.

I hope 2002 is the Year Of S-L-O-W. That is resting up from last years upheaval at least for a few weeks.

That's it, no heavy messages, nothing dire, or pressing for now even though there are still problems to solve, people to help, and memes dead, dying, or reformed and reborn.

I don't know about you readers out there but I am weary so I'll let you gripe and moan for a bit.

Tell me what's happened last year or what you want to happen this year apon us. Take care, be safe, and think... Bye.
