Good news: World will not end in 2012

At least that's according to a German expert who says his decoding of a Mayan tablet with a reference to a 2012 date denotes a transition to a new era and not a possible end of the world as others have read it.
Does this mean that Obean will lose?

#1 Are we sure this is good news?

#2 "Transitioning to a new era" does have an ominous ring to it. According to some of the New Age types, this is a transition from the "Piscean age" to the "Aquarian age".

Despite the mountain of b.s. surrounding it, probably the best capsule summary to describe this would be the transition from patriarchal-hierarchical forms of organization to matriarchal forms of organization.

Nothing particularly spiritual about this, just that patriarchal-hierarchical systems begin to function with less efficiency than their matriarchal equivalent. So when people want something done effectively, they use the matriarchal systems to do it.

A transition to many more females in politics and government, at first using the patriarchal patterns, but as they become dominant, shifting to more productive ways for them to do business.

#3 this is a transition from the "Piscean age" to the "Aquarian age".

#4 I can't speak for the humans, but in my neck of the woods the wimminfolk are into hierarchies and pecking orders.

#5 Those who tout horizontal, collaborative 'feminine' organization as a natural thing tend not to have lived through junior high school as a girl.

Or have forgotten it, if they did.

#6 There's a reason prisoners of the Apache dreaded being turned over to the women...

#7 Anonymoose, no matriarchal system survived about after 1500BCE.

#8 I think the Mayans just ran out of room on that rock they carved.

#9 "No Matriarchial SYstems survived after 1500 BCE".

And thusly, Virginia, we once again again learn why God + 1960's = 1980's MTV gave us MADONNA.

PRE FUTURE OWG PAULA "DELILAH/BATHSHEBA" ABDUL + PRE FUTURE BRAD/LARA ANGELINA, ........@ETAL.

Personally I blame OSAMA + his MTV favorite WHITNEY.

YOOHOO, AYMAN, I'M A'LOOKIN AT YOU!

#10 Perhaps the German Pert as noted was premature ..

To wit,

* BEFORE ITS NEWS > SHOCKED SCIENTISTS ASK: IS THE SUN DYING?, prematurely in contrance to prevailing theory.

Lest we fergit, 1990's NET > ME [paraph] = IMO IFF ONE KILLS THE MESSIAH, BY EXTENSION OR BY DEFINITION ONE ALSO KILLS THE SUN.

All together now, wid feeling - ARE WE HAPPY NOW???
