Thanks, I always like to listen to different views on everything. Just a side note though, and I may be wrong, but isn't the Dec 21st date originate as more of a guess? Or is that date a solid mayan fact?

a calander is probably a fact. since it is when the calander stopped - I wish that was all there was to it... but it isn't -- you have to look at everything and everything I look at is screwed up.... just before 911 - it wasn't.
and 10 years before that you have JB Sr. claiming a 1,000 points of light.... so you have to chose which points your paying attention too. if you notice you have a 1,001 and one things to be concerned about right now... I find that sort of interesting -- but the SUN is beyond our means of control so that is one thing I pay attention too.
and believe it or not - right now there is not a single Sun Spot on the whole SUN now how strange is that >?
and on top of that we are having weird plate movements on planet earth - throughout the solar system the poles are melting... so, I do believe something has entered into our galaxy and is affecting the balance of our solar system ... notice it started off here and there and now it almost weekly we have a major this or that and it is getting more frequent. not to mention the wierd weather - draught in all (oh, no sun spots - cause Draught here on earth) and we have one hum dinger of a draught going on right now world wide... come Novemeber - you had better have a ton of money or lots of food stored up - prices are like double and triple from what they are right now. and Meat of my gosh - right now farmers cant feed the animals so they are sending them to market - that is keeping the prices down - but come Feb - Mar.... I can see those prices going through the roof....
