      Nobody is really looking for the culprit of this seemingly huge problem. 
        Why is that? America is quick to load the courts with lawsuits about almost 
        anything, why not the Y2K problem? Some companies are worried that they 
        may be sued if they don't adequately prepare themselves, but nobody's 
        looking for the criminals behind this national crisis. Most of the legislation 
        on the Y2K problem, in fact, is intended to indemnify various groups and 
        head off lawsuits.  
       The 
        main reason why the people in charge aren't looking for culprits is that 
        it isn't in their best interest to assign blame. In addition, the media 
        doesn't understand the situation well enough to even guess who is to blame. 
        Fortunately, we have no such problems -- so let's point some fingers.
