I bet Nostradamus knows more about the time period he lived in than NASA does. NASA is NASA, don't get me wrong. But don't ask an English teacher a Math question. (Yes, I'm a socialist.) What I'm trying to say... NASA knows their ****, no doubt. But what you neglect here, is what people, or NASA, or the government, possibly is not telling us. I don't believe 2012 will end the world. But I believe the world is not getting better. I give the Mayans and Nos their props for being them in the time periods they lived in. But your question I'm assuming is, who do I think is more credible? Well. I think Nostradamus knows more about his time period than anybody who lives in this one. And I wouldn't ask my English teacher to explain E=mc2.

Well, I disagree. It's all a matter of how one percieves all that's being put out there. Of course you've heard the famous Nos prediction "fire in the sky, world will end" connected to the world trade centers and 9/11? And the hiter/Hitler thing?

That's not necessarily true. If someone's poor, they're poor, and maybe they can't be helped, no matter how many tax breaks they get, or how many hands reach out to them. Not saying I'm in a posistion like that, but many are. In the world as well as America.
