What do you think will happen in 2012? (And maybe more important, what will happen in 2013 and beyond?)?

With humanity coming up fast on 2012, publishers are helping readers gear up and count down to this mysterious — some even call it apocalyptic — date that ancient Mayan societies were anticipating thousands of years ago usatoday.com/tech/science/2007-03-27-may... We can blame it all on the Mayans. They created the Long Count Calendar, a time measurement system that had spiritual significance to their culture. They organized their calendar into several cycles, the last of which will end in December 2012.

Some people think the Mayans had discovered that after 2012, the world would end. There are dozens of theories about how this might happen. Some claim that 2012 is when the Earth will experience a polar shift (see above).

Others say that after 2012, the Earth will experience a period of terrible destruction followed by a new age of peace and enlightenment. A few claim that in 2012, a secret government will accomplish its goal of total world domination. What will actually happen?

I think the EXACT same thing will happen as Y2K..... =P.

I read there will be lots of solar activity.

I think that death and taxes will happen in 2012.

Nostradamus say, "Armageddon in 2011, no such thing as 2012".

The Olympic games will be in London if it hasn't gone bust by then!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
