    Reading this while watching "The Day After Tomorrow" is probably a really bad idea, huh?


    But you know what the real day after tomorrow is? The first full day of President Obama, baby! And, just like that, my hope is restored.

    Does James Kuntsler know that all major, successful cities are already built along waterways? That that's how they thrived in the first place?

    Eh, the local newspaper is so bad that I wouldn't care if it went away, really. The high school students around the corner write better articles.


    And yes, I've heard many people (okay, mostly around message boards, which gives you an idea of who these people are, see: paranoid delusional end-of-age geeks) talking about how things are going to get really bad really soon, and that it's time to learn how to grow your own food and use your guns, because it's important to keep those rioters away from your property once the proverbial hits the fan. The way they talk you'd think the world had never seen or overcome worse disasters.

    I believe there is still some Y2K Doomsday food and water left in my pantry. That'll keep me going when the Chinese government conquers the west coast, according to the predictions of a popular Russian doomsdayer. I always get a kick out of how many people misinterpret Nostradamus's predictions: "And then a burning goose will appear on a river." Conclusion: OMG, he predicted the miracle jetliner landing in NYC!

    Is it wrong that I am for anything that involves marauding hordes?? Especially marauding hordes on horseback. Or motorcycles a la Mad Max, but less murdery.

    I joke to my boyfriend that I'll marry him on Dec. 20, 2012. So if the world does end, he's stuck with me FOREVER! Then I laugh, "Mwahahaha!"

    What gets me about all the 2012-talk? It's propagated by many religious christians...but if you're christian, the Bible says no one will know the day/time/hour of the apocalypse.


    Hear that, MOM?!

    @meglovesyouxx: I had an insane teacher at one of my Sunday schools (mom took me out of this one!) who used that quote to scare all of us poor children. Like - look! We never know when the end will come, it will come when we all least expect it.


    Between this and Santa knowing when I'm awake or not, I was a nervous child.

    There are some days when I cannot deal with people who believe in crap like this and there are some days when I really really want them to be right. Damn it, this has been a really awful week.


    Also I think that there are many overlaps between Doomers and Libertarians.

    The future will be EXACTLY like Futurama. Earth will be a multicultural society of human, robots and aliens living under a unified government and calling themselves "Earthicans."


    Also, you can opt out of paying you taxes! But you'll have to spend a weekend with The Pain Monster.
