FYI - its not so much about the Mayans being wrong, but our fear mongering culture being wrong.
This past summer we visited the Mayan ruins. Even purchased a beautiful stone Mayan calendar for my home. Know what actual Mayans think? They think we're silly for thinking the end of the world is coming...and put it ina way that I have never thought of: Do we here in the US have any calendars that end at infinity? Most calendars end the next year. Same with the Mayans. Mayan people don't mind though, because they know we'll freak out and buy a ton of goods that will more than likely be produced in Mexico. I've lived long enough now to have noticed a pattern that every few years, there's another "we are living in the end times" scare. That shit is very popular in the South, along with lots of other pseudo-religious stupidity. I don't pay that much attention to it any more. To quote Galvatron from Transformers the Movie, "We all must die sometime."

The good news for Lody is when the shit hits the fan I'm sure they'll be a story on yahoo that he could link to a thread here...then again I guess Lody and everyone at Yahoo and everywhere else will look like Uncle Own and Aunt Beru.
Having said that I don't do the whole "mania" thing. I don't do the whole "mayan" thing either. If the Mayan's were so incredibly sophisticated and almost clarevoyant then you'd think they would have the smarts to be around today. The media is nuts with this and there are a virtual shit ton of people with nothing else going on than to buy into it. Be it 2012, Y2K, The Rapture...whatever. 1/2 of the people I know who claim to be of religious faith are buying into it...doesn't the Bible even say no one knows when the end is? Good Lord man, get your shit straight. In 2012 I will most likely still be dating skanks and buying toys--that's the way it ought to be. Oh and stalking Headman. |
