In all kinds of circles, not just among mystics, is a sense of looming events and in some cases, a year is even attached.

Of course, this is always the height of the precarious. We warned before the year 2000 not to place too much importance on that specific year (we all recall Y2K). We warn again of the same thing now.

Oh, great, just GREAT! I will finally be 65 that year, and now you tell me my retirement is zip, nada, zilch, blooey, GONE!

[smoothsailing]

2012, aye?

I've been reading about the 2012-Mayan-calendar-TEOTWAWKI stuff since I was a kid, at least 30 years ago.
