The end is coming in 2012, the new trailer for the movie 2012.

I figured I should just go a head and post this in this forum since the moderators would probably ship it here any way.


Snip < The Mayan Calendar
2012 gained the patina of doom with the best-selling 1966 book "The Maya" by Harvard archeologist Michael D. Coe. He noted that the Mayan culture's famously complex "Long Count" calendar simply ends on 12/21/12, speculating that civilization might come crashing down on that date. Other scholars argue, however, that the Mayan calendar would merely flip over like an odometer that reached 100,000 miles.


Snip< Sunspots and Pole Problems
So if the apocalypse is set just in time for holiday shopping season three years from now, how exactly will the world end? One theory that actually has some traction in the scientific community is that a solar flare will cause a sudden shift in the magnetic orientation of the Earth's poles, causing all kinds of planetary problems like volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. NASA is predicting strong solar activity around 2012 and there's evidence that the magnetic poles are slowly weakening, something that reportedly presages a reversal. Of course, most scientists think that this reversal will take centuries, not days, to occur.

1. If the world is going to end

can it happen after I pay off my mortgage? I want a few years to travel a bit.

2. Mayan calendar does leave us dangling - but Global Warming is still being ignored . . .

In just 500 years the "discoverers" have destroyed not only our continent but
the entire planet!!!

So much for patriarchy and organized patriarchal religion/"Man's Dominion Over Nature" --
and its exploitive economic system -- capitalism!!!

3. This is so different from 1999, 1997, 1980, 1974, 1962, this time it's real!

the "mayan calendar" thing is so heavily debunked it's almost too much to point it out.
