Note: I wrote this blog a few months ago before I had this Townhall blog; I'm posting it now so I don't have an empty blog page until I can write a new entry. It's cool anyway because you can see that my prediction that I made back in February became a reality. Thanks for reading!

Remember Y2K? Yes it seems like it was many years ago, but alas it was a mere seven years ago. We all sat in our homes, fingers crossed, as Dick Clark counted down the seconds before the year 2000 was upon us. All of North America will lose power. Personal information lost. Civilians will go insane causing destruction everywhere. The world will end! The boorish outlooks went on and on. "Our lives are in the computers, if they shut down because of the Y2K bug, we'll be in serious trouble." B.S. It never happened. Even as I sat there on that historical night, Welch's sparkling grape juice in hand, I knew what everyone (especially the mainstream media) was saying was pure delusion. Yes, what the Associated Press was able to use as the topic of asinine stories for weeks on end, was a subject that my 7th grade mind knew was absurdity.

So why the repeat scare of computer malfunction causing major technological problems, this time due to the Daylight Savings Time change? Simple: it's because the mainstream media wants to scare you, play on your emotions, and get you concerned over nothing. Why would the want to do that? This is just a small piece of the puzzle and their main objective folks. The mainstream doesn't report news, it reports nonsense that is used to get you worked up - then they deliver the punch line, usually in a guarded and unforthcoming manor. A punch line that will turn your smart, moral mind into that of liberal sewage.

Prime example: Global Warming. The media builds and builds the subject up through the newspaper, news programs, talk shows, blogs, magazines, web sites, and other forms of media, and makes it into this horrific tragedy that's (supposedly) happening at an alarming rate - and you're to blame. We are guilty of horrid sins like melting Iceland and drowning cute little polar bears. The list of treacheries goes on and on. Now the punch line in the form of a series of news headline stories making your memory recall all of the garbage it had been fed previously -

"prominent democrat Former Vice President Al Gore is breaking open the subject of Global Warming, educating us on the dangers and how we can help fix this environmental issue."

"Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is working with other democrats to form a Committee of Energy Independence and Global Warming to help protect Americas and the world's environmental security."

"Hollywood star John Travolta gave a speech on Global Warming today urging everyone to do their part in the fight against global warming."

"President Bush's see-no-evil, hear-no-evil stance on global warming is so intractable that even when his own administration's scientists weigh in on the issue, he simply won't hear of it."

"the Republicans who are Global Warming deniers are on par with Holocaust deniers. Though one denies the past and one denies the present."

You see, now they've got you! If you're for Bush or anyone who agrees with him, you're dumb, uneducated and evil. If you're a John Travolta fan, you'll listen to him. If you care about the horrible things you're doing like killing polar bears, you'll join our mission. Next thing you know the DST change by Bush was all part of his "evil master plan" and the only reason he did it is because he has profitable reason to do so, etc.

So my point is, don't let the media scare you into something that isn't 100% proven fact. As a matter of fact, disregard all things put out by the liberal media and you should be okay. The unforseen time change is not going to "mess everything up". With technology being as amazing as it is these days, there will be no issue.

Besides if the clocks don't automatically change for daylight savings time you could always, gee I don't know, use your hand and you mouse and manually fix it. Use your hand and your brain, I know, it's a crazy idea right?
