Pushing the Bounds: Are We Ready for 2012?

The Mayan calender ends on December 21, 2012. It is not hard to find predictions of doom in the media and across the web for this date. This upcoming event has even inspired at least one major motion picture. No one knows exactly what will happen on this date, other than the winter solstice and the shortest day of the year. But there are many predictions of the end of the world, the second coming of Christ, that the poles will shift, or some other major calamity. Fears will heightened as the date approaches and many will be looking for signs of the end.

Besides the Mayan calendar ending there are also various predictions from sources throughout history, according to the doom sayers. This is doing nothing more than raising trepidation among many of the peoples of the world. With the attention the date 12/21/2012 has garnered it may be time for some other preparations. Within the current Administration are those who are more than willing to take advantage of us in times of crisis. These are individuals that may be willing to exacerbate the crisis just to enact their agenda. In a time of panic people look for leadership that is calm, cool, and collected. Even if there is no crisis, it would be easy to convince people that there is one coming, considering all of the predictions currently making there way onto the cable channels.

We've seen with the recent passage of the so called Healthcare Reform Law, that our leaders are not concerned about anything except extending their power over the citizen of this country. Their arrogant stance, that they know better then anyone else, makes me worry for their reactions or what they have planned for 2012. I'm sure that there will be a lot of hand wringing and concern over the next 2 years as the faithful day approaches, but there is no real reason that society as a whole will breakdown. We must be vigilant and watch our leaders with great care. As a free people it is our responsibility to help keep the peace and not allow a totalitarian leadership use this building fear to further enslave us.

We can not afford to be fatalistic and allow someone else to take control of our lives. We must face the fact that if the world does end on 12/21/2012 or at the very least that there is a major cataclysm, we will survive better if we work together as free people and not let a bunch of power hungry tyrants rob us of all that we have can be. There have been predictions throughout man's history of bad things. We can not let this prediction become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The more that we believe that something will happen the more likely that a man-made event will occur. I believe that the faithful will either spend their time in prayer or quiet contemplation. There are going to be those on the edge that may do insane acts, but this should be rare. Many on the left who have no faith in a higher being or very little may be the most dangerous. With no moral compass their propensity for violent act may be greater. There will also be those from the radical religious sects that may lash out at the world when there is a crisis or trying to create one. Either way the sane people as a whole must look out for those who are willing to do damage. For I predict that the Sun will rise on the 22nd of December 2012 the same as it rose on the 21st. Well that is my hope.
