I hope you watched 60  minutes yesterday, The author said the difference between
the beggining of this century and the last was that there wasn't even any debate
that 1901 was the beggining of the new century!   Perhaps you should watch
nightline with Peter Jennings Interviewing a history professor from Harvard, who
 stated boldly and matter of factly that the millenium does not start till 2001!
 Maybe you could pick up  the new york times and read?  Don't just make
ridiculous statements.  The millenium starting in 2001 is not an OPINION it is a
fact of the modern day callender.
