Speaking as someone who lived thru the lame Y2K scare, which at least had some foundation in reality with the computer programming concern, I really want these 2012 people to make good on their doomsday claims.
what annoys me most about 2012 fears is the fact that i suspect most people don't really believe it. i think they just enjoy the drama it creates. Before 2000, i worked with a fellow who loved to talk about the impending comet strikes or whatever, and he discussed a few leading up to the date, even being a bit smug when i laughed at him, but of course, he continued working and living his life.
So with the people who lend some credence to the 2012 theories, put your guns where your mouth is. You will post and talk about the end times, but I don't think you really believe it. i think it is just a fun diversion for you. if you really even claim to believe it, please explain why so i can look into it. it disgusts me how many people will make claims and not even try to legitimately back them up without admitting it is just for fun. i guess it takes the fun out of it if you admit to yourself or others that it is just a belief that lies in that gray area between where reality and fantasy meet, but I could accept it if you admitted it. But when you don't, it makes me crazy.
the dating system is freaking arbitrary, people. 2012 is a number we created. if it creates a fancy pattern on someone's calendar, it doesn't mean anything in relation to space time. get over.
and may i recommend Mahavishnu Orchestra's Birds of Fire? Great listen.
