    Be carefull what you wish for. A good saying, not just dogmatic babbling mostly because if you aim high you stand more chance of getting that if you decide its out of your reach. If you wish for your doom you might just get it, if of course you try and solve problems who knows what might happen, you might even smile.

    Every end is a new beginning.
    But what 'end' is everyone imagining?

    End of the earth? Extremely Doubtful.
    End of life on earth? Very Doubtful.
    End of Human existence? Still Doubtful.

    End of our reliance on oil? End of an era of unbridled industrialism and capitalism? End of cheap energy... perhaps.

    I don't think it is the end, just the beginning of something new. My advice: learn to farm, learn to mend your own clothes, learn to make candles. We have lost so much knowledge is so little time and that's the only thing that's gonna hurt.

    Ancient Chineese Secret? Aisian Bird Flu Pandemic

    Cure? The meteor that may hit us in 2010? or is it 2039
    "No Foolin check the NASA website."

    No, but seriously folks, people have been saying "The end is near" for quite some time,...but then again,.........

    P.S.

    I promise you that this is the first time that war, natural disasters and diseases have been present at the same time in the entire history of the world.

    point taken,..

    You are a master of veiled sarcasm.

    1968 is a great example of the triple threat

    A large flu epidemic hit the states
    Hurricane Camile
    and the Tet offensive.

    Many apologies.
    With Humility.

    ive been reading the `mayan prophecies´by M cotteral, its a very detailed study on just exactly how much the mayans knew that we dont, they were a race pre occupied by the stars, & the workings of the universe. thier belief is that the 5th age is comming to an end on the 22nd december 2012, befor this there were 4 other ages each destroyed by a different cataclysm, the last one was a flood which may be where to the story of noahs arc originated from. there were also studies done on sun spot cycles which preditc that the earths magnetic polarity reversal coincides with the mayan end date.

    The story of Noahs ark most probably came from a flooding of the Euphrates in Samarian times. In this flood a trader with a name similar to Noah (when translated) was washed out to sea aboard his boat and landed in modern day Bahrain, finding his way home (where Baghdad is now) went down in legend. Evidence in ancient Jewish temples has lead historians to believe this may have been elaborated on and put in the bible.

    We stand at the beginning of a new Millennium of Hope & Humanity as this grand adventure goes forward. Just as our Science and Technology has advanced, and continues to advance, for the benefit of all of mankind, so too does the human spirit soar and we will together advance to undreamt of heights where a revolutionary new technology will unfold and a new kind of miracle will become an everyday occurance. At this moment in time, in the early years of the 21st century, the old ways of war and deceit and conceit and greed are beginning to fall away, back into the dark past of the 20th century where they belong.

    Let all who would be 21st Century Citizens join forces, so that we may collectively usher in the new times, the new ways of thinking, feeling and being and transform this world into one that underwrites compassion, not war, adventure, not parochialism, research, not superstition, education, not ignorance, discovery, not fear. In these New Times there is present the opportunity for each person, EVERY PERSON regardless of race, gender, national origin, age or something as mundane as "sexual preference" - to advance themselves and develop their own individual human potential, as far as they can and as deeply as they are able to reach - so that there will become among us Real Supermen and Superwomen, Hero's to lead the way into the night, turning darkness into Light and making this island Earth shine like a beacon, to let everyone else out there know that everything is right and good and safe in this little corner of the Galaxy. For this is the Hope of Humanity, facing the eternal oblivion of an all surrounding universe of darkness, staring it down, sneering at it's stupid entropic trending and screaming out in the night: "We Will NOT Abide By You! For We Are ALIVE and of a Mind of OUR OWN!! Get ye back ye black darkness and know this, that though ye be voluminous and ancient and all encompassing, We have Compassion to shelter and care for the least of our own, Determination to go forward in time and LOVE to propel us through thy space. THIS, is the Beginning of our Adventure both within and without, for the way to the one is through the other. This is Our Song and our Drama - and our's is NOT one brief moment upon thy stage but a Force that will transform and extend thy paltry offering to something substantial and with scope and duration. For WE, are HUMANITY! And. We. Have. Just. Begun!"
