what cracks me up is it's like when we all stop paying attention, it (somethin) is gonna happen. No one has made any accurate forcast for the future since time began. The Mayans, maybe they ran out of the type of stone they neededfor their calenders? (actually their point was that on that date, the calender would start anew again) The Hopi, perhaps it was their own demise they should have been considering...or were. A person can read anything into anything...no offense Lori, or anyone. Speculation is fun, I'm more concerned on how we are treating the earth, thinking it's unlimited in resouces, while we over populate, pollute while the violence and neglect of life form escalates. There in I can see a demise...but more than likely by just one knucklehead pushing the wrong button, and probally the cleaning person by mistake (or not). 2012? Maybe. Maybe not. Just try and make things a little better on your end of the stick.
