"I shall give you not a prophecy but merely an observation in pointing to one second before midnight of December 31st as heralding a permanent change for mankind. That second, when gone, will enter mankind into a hostile world where technology is turned against mankind. The Year 2000 Bug abbreviated "Y2K" will unleash the final death knell for this wicked system and its faithless worldlings."
proph�e�cy: a prediction of something to come
ob�ser�va�tion: an act of
recognizing and noting a fact or occurrence often involving measurement with instruments I'm not calling you a liar, because it may be that you don't understand the difference between an observation and a prophecy
(after all, you've been in the Organization a long time, and that has a tendency to dull the senses). However, the fact remains that you DID make a prophecy about future events. Now that you understand the difference between the two
(you may want to write the above definitions on a 3x5 card to keep with you), please don't make any more predictions. It makes you look silly, and it wastes our time reading it. By the way, since you're new here, it's a good practice to
keep posts to one subject. If you post a rambling rant, people tend to pick and choose which particular thing they want to respond to, and ignore the rest. Later, YupYup
