I had a friend who bought the whole "Y2K" hype, hook, line and sinker. He was so convinced that the worst would happen that he lost his ethical center and did bad things, thinking that he was doing what was needed to protect his family. When the world didn't go "Mad Max," all of his misdeeds caught up to him, and his life was ruined. He slithered away, and I haven't seen or heard from him since.
If this 2012 stuff gains any traction, I can envision more scenarios like his, the ultimate hubris of the survivalist mentality. I intend to keep my guard up and avoid those types.
And if there is some basis in reality? I only hope that the end comes in a blink, without an extended period of suffering for the masses. I plan on continuing to charge hard, like I'm gonna live forever!
