We're Still Here!

Well may 21 came and went and surprise, the world is still here! Yet another doomsday believer has been proven incorrect, as they have each time throughout history. So it's a pretty safe bet in Vegas to bet against every one of these prophets. Now next year is 2012 when the Mayan calendar ends and some believe that this means the end of days. I liked the movie 2012. But I'm inclined to go along with other experts who say that the ancient civilization didn't suggest that the calendar meant the end of the world but that the calendar restarts a new cycle. If anything, it suggests a new era in the world. I'll put my bet on this interpretation. So Mother Earth will likely be around next year.

This isn't to say that in the distant future the sun won't go supernova or that the world might be smashed into bits by a rogue passing asteroid but that end will come quick without prophesy. The privileged might have already gotten out of Dodge to a galaxy far, far away. The great unwashed may have only time to bend over & kiss their ass goodbye! Maybe that should be the final chapter for human kind on this planet. But some may have moved outward to a new home in the universe. But not today. Obla dee obla dah life goes on!
