Funny, anyone else realize that this "electoral-Session" ends exactly
in 2012?? The end of the world as we know it?

Yea, the Maya (i know i spell that wrong) calender.

Nothing significant about it the ending. All it means is some priest out there realized was silly to keep counting dates that far ahead.

No biggie, you just forgot the "N". :D
Actually, they've come more to the conclusion that its not necessarily "The-End"
or even "Doomsday", but more an end to "Things as we know it". Could be that "Mother-
Nature" and "Mother Earth" are getting ready for the next evolution change? We certainly
havent been kind enough to our world because of selfishness and greed, and history has
truly shown that nothing stays the same.

IMO the mayans, by designing a calendar valid until 2012 showed much more foresight than the computer programmers of the eighties who were thinking that coding years on 2 digits was good enough.

I'm with Saxman on this. It was just some priest working away on it. It was three in the morning, he was getting tired and he had an early human sacrifice that morning. So he finished with a flourish. 'Herewith the world ends'. Then he went to bed. :D

The calender is still wrong. The Mayan civilization ended more than a thousand years ago.

For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. in Crystal River, Florida. To render December 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."
The astronomer Philip Plait has stated very clearly that the Mayan calendar does not end in 2012 at all, that it is like the odometer on your car, as each section of the odometer reaches 9 and then clicks over to 0, the next number to it starts a new cycle, so that when all the numbers again reach 0 all the way across the odometer - the last number will change from 1 to 2 and the new cycle starts all over again.
The Mayan calendar has already reset in the past and we are still here. Also the Mayans predicted things will happen using dates beyond the 2012 reset. They never thought 2012 was the end, just a new cycle.
If you really want to believe the Mayans knew something no one else has been able to figure out (I personally don't), then it is more practical to believe in some sort of change like a pole shift/switch on 2012.

AFAIK it wasn't just the Mayans.
Anyway, USA with 5% of the worlds population can just end their period in the year 2012... :rolleyes:
