Less than Two Hours to Go? Doubt it Folks!

At 6:11, my time here in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, the countdown ends for the supposed Mayan prediction.  Some say the prediction is for the end of the world, and others say it's only a massive change coming our way according to the translations.  Even this close to the impending time, I have no faith that the world will end in less than two hours.  Give me a break, people!  How many times has some idiot predicted the end of the world?

I can easily imagine some sort of catastrophe happening to a vast majority of the people on this planet, because as a whole we're dumb enough to cause our own demise.  I think there will be people left roaming the planet, however.  If we're wiped out by a disease, there will be some people who are immune, and others that are merely carriers.  If we're wiped out by nuclear war, there will be pockets of people that only receive minor effects from the radiation.  After all, is anyone really going to attack Nunavut Territory in Canada?  How about equally sparse and isolated towns around the world?  I doubt it very much.  What would be the point?  Those places aren't threats.

Nope, in less than two hours' time, we're all going to be sitting around, or sleeping, and the moment will pass without a hiccup.  Then everyone who feared the big event will look like the gullible idiots they are.  I sure hope nobody was dumb enough to lay in supplies, spending their money on ridiculous things when Christmas is already sucking the money out of your wallets.  Maybe the Mayans got the date wrong, and they were predicting their own demise, which happened a very long time ago.

The fact is, the Mayans really did not predict the end of the world, and those who say otherwise are sadly misinformed trouble-brewers who seem to enjoy predicting disaster.
