Your own personal 2012 apocalypse, Mark Morford
What, you think it’s not happening? You think it’s all bogus silly New Age bubblegum fluff with a side of hippie wishful thinking?
Think again, skeptic. The famed 2012 apocalypse of eerie Mayan lore is nigh, and you and your eye-rolling cynicism, your new iPad mini and your snooty, hifalutin’ position of living in one of the most privileged countries, bodies, nationalities, income levels, hair styles and jaded first-world comfort zones on the planet, you are all in for a hell of a ride.
I am not here to convince you. I am not here to point up the endless parade of forces, events and energies all conspiring to upend everything you think you know, kick the ass of your karma and make you pay a little bit of attention for a change.
I am merely here to remind you: “apocalypse” can mean many things, most of them not at all what you think.
