Nothing will happen. People will claim there were mistakes, they will re-evaluate their predictions and set their doomsday clocks a little further
back. 2012 will become 2029, and we'll be waiting for the next big thing.

"An enlightened path"
That's a tough one to swallow. I mean nobody would welcome such an occurrence more than I would but take a look around.
I find it next to impossible to believe that organized mobsters, violent gangbangers, Wall St sharpies, drug cartels, neocons, wife beating rednecks, big pharma, the military-industrial complex, the criminal-industrial complex or radical jihadists of any stripe(short list off the top of my head) are going to completely change their world view within the next three years.
I realize that all things are possible, it's always darkest before the dawn etc etc, but it just looks like we have a really long, long way to go before we see global enlightenment
Of course I would be the first to embrace it and I really hope it happens.
