Run for the hills
Edited on Sun Mar-27-11 06:17 PM by Ian David
As if you needed more proof of the absolute certainty provided by the Mayan Calendar that the world is going to end Dec. 21, 2012, we have the Japan disaster, unrest in the Middle East, Charlie Sheen and Rorschach-inspired Arkansas Congressional redistricting maps.

Laugh all you want, you silly and superficial non-believers, but all this good life revolving around the resurgence of Razorback athletics, AC/DC and the acceptance of online journalism is soon to be squashed by the alignment of comets, galaxies and the fractal time realities one excitable person has termed the “Maya Cosmogenesis.”

<snip>

While most folks would end their research with the canonistic revelations of Weatherman Lewis, The City Wire sought additional input from Michael Shermer, the founding publisher of Skeptic magazine and executive director of the Skeptics Society. Shermer, in what is likely a low point in his otherwise impressive career, agreed to a phone interview with yours truly.

“I don’t think there is an increase,” Shermer said from his California office when asked if more people are buying into end-time prophecies and cosmic alignment conjecture. “I think there is always a background level of noise and that sort of thing goes on at any given time. It cycles around, of course, if there is some pop culture thing or movie.”

1. Nah. The elders have never said the world would end.

They've always said the calendar will end. Big changes. Big flip.

I recommend you listen to the Mayan Daykeepers, and weigh their insights and observations with your own faculties. Then engage your free will.

In my view, their is no goodness or strength to arise from paying much attention to either the Scientific Materialists or the Fear & Freak Scamsters (R), who no matter how they appear or how they identify themselves, have RepubliThink in their, um souls, or whatever.

2. I'm stocking up on Barbecue Sauce

Cause people will be the most plentiful food source.

Got my portable grill. Got my isolated cabin in the hills. Got my mountain mama.
This unbeliever is set to survive.
2012 believers are a good source of vitamins and protein.

3. Let's add the Aztecs into the mix
They had four "suns' - each ending in its own special disaster. We are now in the "Fifth Sun" -- to end in desolation caused by EARTHQUAKE!!!!

Do you believe?? If so, send some $ to an account specified later for surefire ways to survive.
