The sad truth is all of this 2012 propaganda has made 2012 a scary scenario. If people believe it will happen they might act on these beliefs and make anarchy for everybody. If I thought in my heart it was the end of days why not get wasted and steal a car shoot some innocent people and make myself king of my block with superior fire power. I of course do not condone these actions, yet this misinformation about the year 2012 has made these actions plausible. If you decide to take the 2010 scenario as a joke remember it wasn't too long ago when we thought people could cast spells and then where burned at the stake for being witches and warlocks. How is this for an equation stupied people plus fear equals a bad scenario.
I can see the bumper stickers now "Guns don't kill people 2010 kills people".
