Scientists: 'Big One' Building Beneath Fukushima

[Fawke Em]

11. Technically, the Mayans didn't say Dec. 21, 2012 was

the end of the world.

What they said was that it was the beginning of the Golden Age of Enlightenment.

2012 is sometimes claimed to be a great year of spiritual transformation or apocalypse. Many interpret the completion of the thirteenth B'ak'tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar to mean there will be a major change in world order.

Take that as you will, but I see signs of a "major change in world order." Sometimes I see those signs shifting to more enlightenment (Occupy, the Arab Spring, the Greeks protesting severe austerity), but sometimes I see those signs drifting into deep dispair (the GOP Clown Car, the war on women's reproductive systems, Andrew Breitbart).

This nuclear plant thing, though, this may be more of a sign of Man's absolute unwillingness to consider himself/herself one with nature and Mother Nature is about to give us all a great big smack down.
