Also remember that the Mayan calender did not mean everyone would die or mass destruction, it meant that we would begin a new stage. It's supposed to be a celebration, we're beginning a new era basically.
I believe the posts about the NWO, I was bored one night and starting researching videos about it and it came to mind that this would make more sense than the whole world being destroyed because of a solar flare, What I think is going to happen is that the Illuminati will rise up in the year 2012 and pretty much control everything they could get their hands on. The world will end, as WE know it.
