You always have to be aware when dealing with "benevolent" aliens, bec because it is very easy for them to decieve us. I would recommend reading the 6 part article called "discerning alien disinformation" at www.Montalk.net
guys listen, I don't see how this hasn't been brought up before. The calender has to end sometime, it just happens to be now. People who predicted this apocalypse may have heard of the calender and said " Holy fuck, you know what I think I want my name to be remembered for ever, so I will say the world is going end in 2012". But that may not be the case. Right now, I wouldn't really mind if the world ended, it kind of sucks. But I make the best of it =)
The sad truth is it does not matter what happens in 2012. The purpose for any human being on any day is strive to live in 100% harmony and unconditional love of all. Chaos, doomsday, armageddon, war, pestilence, famines, genocide included. For richer or poorer, in sickness and health till death do us part. Enough with the panic, mania and frenzy, that's exactly what THEY want.
