I was literally just about to post this!

It's not going to end. Even if it does, we will be too dead to care!

From your link, They also don't believe the world will end

"The world will not end. It is an era," said Yeanet Zaldo, a tourism spokeswoman for the Caribbean state of Quintana Roo, home to Cancun. "For us, it is a message of hope."

Long Count calendar begins in 3,114 B.C., marking time in roughly 394-year periods known as Baktuns. Thirteen was a significant, sacred number for the Mayas, and they wrote that the 13th Baktun ends on Dec. 21, 2012.

For some reason, Gronemeyer says, people have ignored evidence that dates beyond 2012 were recorded.

Human beings seem to be attracted by apocalyptic ideas and always assume the worst," Gronemeyer said.

Cha ching is right. We are looking forward to it down here. I'm going up to Chichen Itza tomorrow for the start of the solstice craziness.

We expect business (nothing but tourism around here) to be booming this year.

Yeah...the Mayans don't expect the world to end...but dont tell that to the NWO/Illuminati/CrazyMofo'sTryingtoRuletheWorld I'm sure "they" aren't going to let an opportunity "go to waste". They've already planted the seeds: "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012(the Movie)"...why let a harvest go to waste?

I, personally, don't think the "world" is going to end...like people think...but i do believe SOMETHING MAJOR, is going to take place. There's waaaaaay too many things going on, next year, like: The Presidential Elections, The Olympics, this event, to name a few, for something castastrophic, not to happen. Next year, is going to be a big year, INDEED. Enjoy this Christmas, it MAY BE the last one, we celebrate, for a while!

And, by the way, if we look at the word "WORLD"...meaning: the cosmos, arrangement of things; it IS POSSIBLE that the "world", as we know it, WILL end. Next year, could be the start of the N.World O, or the NEW ARRANGEMENT OF THINGS!
