Maybe I'm a conspiracy theorist, but I'd wager a pint of your favorate
beverage that that's exactly the reason this sort of legislation pops up
from time-to-time.  I mean, look what the overhyped year-2000 problems did
for the market in a lot of industries in the States in 1999.  You have to
wonder if the same people that were screaming gloom-and-doom didn't have
money invested in gold futures and storable-food stocks.
