November 2012 is our (American) next Presidential election. I have a feeling that whether Obama is re-elected or not, one side is going to say that there is no way that could happen.

I hope that the election doesn't stir up a lot of trouble, and it probably won't....but then again, I've seen things happen , over the past couple of years, that I never thought I would see.

Hopefully, I'll be retired-retired by then (having done it twice before) and I can stay in my little corner of the world.

Ahhhh, I see. I don't do politics. Don't even know when the next general election is over here.

Whatever 2012 brings, I hope it includes a wholesale change in the membership of Congress and our state legislatures.

That 18-20 dagrees is the change of angle between your belt and your belly button right? You know, I bet if asia kept up to North America in obesity, the world wouldn't be shifting

Showing potential as the next Minister of Science right there, I tell you what.

**canid** · 10-16-2009, 11:52 PM

hey now, none of that.

2012 is not supposed to be the "END OF THE WORLD", just the end of the world as we know it... There will be an internal breakdown of society and Government. The week will fall, the strong will thrive, evil will attempt to overthrow good, but in the end good will prevail. It will be a second chance for mankind forcing us to start from scratch. This world has transformed into something pathetic and I for 1 welcome 2012. it will be the rebirth of a new way of living. I will be prepared and ready "if it happens"...

Survival Rule #2. Never threaten the livelihood of the man with the Ban button.

Uh, good luck with all of that. I'll be busy watching it on TV. Probably the reruns since I seem to be late on most of the new fall shows.

I have been trying to figure this 2012 stuff. Seems to be a bunch of silliness. I have a difficult time accepting the word of some folks that don't even have a real job (not referring to members of the forum) that spend their time spinning yarns based on their interpretations of "stuff". Heck if they were that good reading the tea leaves, wouldn't they be millionaires? Worrying about it is almost as important (in my mind) as preparing for a "pink rabbit" invasion. I guess in 2012, I will vote, tend to my yard, vacation, just as I have over the last half century or so. So other than for entertainment value, there is no 2012 issue for me

Oh, and just in case I have missed something, feel free to post some factual sources of information on the impending doom. But please, no opinion positions by neh bob pundits.

I am always open to change

**canid** · 10-17-2009, 09:16 AM

how do you know about the pink rabbit invasion..?!

**BENESSE** · 10-17-2009, 09:18 AM

If the Mayans were so good at predicting the future, how come they didn't see Cortez coming?

And why are they extinct?

**Rick** · 10-17-2009, 09:38 AM

They aren't extinct, you silly pink rabbit. The are living in Berkley and waiting for 2012 to arrive. They are actually advising Schwarzenegger on the finer points of managing a state economy. On second thought, that 2012 thing could start in California and just spread. (GASP!)

**Winnie** · 10-17-2009, 09:44 AM

I have definitive proof that nothing will happen in 2012. The British Govt wouldn't fork out billions getting ready for the Olympics if it's the end of the world as we know it.
