About waking up on the 22nd:
I one short word, I will look at the "Mayan believers" and say, "Idiot!" and then walk a way.
The explanation:
Because I *KNOW* that all the people on my FB Friends List are intelligent, diligent people and that they are willing to expend the energy required to do their own homework, rather than live lazy lives by cheating off their dumb neighbor's paper in the classroom of life, I can rest assured that none of them will believe the "Mayan" crap that is bobbing down the current mainstream like a turd floating along in a sewage ditch.
Because my informed friends used their most non-renewable resource (time!) more wisely than wasting braincells playing Angry Birds (or watching and believing everything they see on *ALL* reality TV shows (American Idol, X-Factor, Big Brother, Survivor, just to name a few), I know that these friends would have completed their homework early by learning that the Mayans calendar and the modern Gregorian Calendar (the one you use today) were very different, indeed. One major consideration would be Leap Year. The Mayans did not know, nor did they care about Leap Year. If you account for an extra day every 4 years, by the Mayan's calendar, the world should have 'ended' in August, 2011.
I am typing this blog on Dec. 17, 2012, and just with a mere glance out my office window, I can see a wintry, dreary - but nonetheless, still present! - world out there.
A note to the "Survivalists" out there. (I can't believe we actually have a name for them now!):
"The Sandy Hook shooter lived with his mother at her house in Sandy Hook, 5 miles from the elementary school. She was a gun enthusiast who, according to an acquaintance, often took her two sons to a local shooting range. According to her former sister-in-law, Marsha Lanza, Nancy stayed home to take care of Adam. Marsha Lanza also recalled that Nancy was a "survivalist", and had turned her home into "a fortress" in which she was stockpiling guns and food to prepare for what she believed was an apocalyptic event associated with impending economic collapse."
OK. OK. In my humble opinion, if a person (the shooter's mother) is goon enough to have an 'armed fortress' around a mentally ill person, AND train him how to shoot people, then she, indeed, earned the shot in the face that she received. (Contrary to popular belief, the shooter's mother was NOT a teacher at this school, nor did she have any connection to the school.)
As for shooting small, innocent, defenseless children and several other people who were trying to educate this country's youth:
I honestly hope this shooter AND his mother has to answer for each and every soul that was taken on Dec. 14. If I had a choice in the matter, their 'holding cell' until that final court day would be an extra hot place in Hell, with an occasional pop or crackle coming from the hot embers.
It is perfectly acceptable to hope and pray that Evil burns in Hell:
As a GREAT example, Dr. William Petit Jr and his murdered family (Google it - they're from Connecticut, too!) This man's family was murdered, and he was left for dead during a hideous robbery. When Oprah asked him if he was willing to forgive the men that did this crime to his family, Dr. Petit answered her:
"Since it is inherent in the human constitution to hate evil, any forgiveness for these people is "inappropriate." Oprah said one thing in response to this answer to her question, "That is a very good answer!"
As ironic as it seems, the "survivalists" - whose intention was to preserve life - are now doing the killing.
