I'm finishing my Master's Degree in History in April and I'll tell you that every generation since the beginning of time has predicted that the end of the world will come within their own respective lifetime. People who interpret oracles that are dated thousands of years old and are transcribed in ancient languages with completely different dialects have to remember that meanings and interpretations are elusive. It's just like the damn, stupid Nostradamus predictions. All of his "supposed predications" have been proven to be wildly vague and inconclusive. Contemporary interpreters of Nostradamus often merely read coded text and unconsciously interpret them as prophetic. Why would they do this?Because it sells books.I'll tell you this: the bottomline is that there are two types of people pushing this never-ending "apocalyptic bullshit" and it's:1) People who can somehow (either directly or indirectly) make money off of it, and/or....2) Any type of religious person who (either directly or indirectly) wants society to be guilted and/or scared into acting morally and spiritually-conscious within their lifetime (i.e. before the supposed day arrives!)In other words, it's a bunch of money-grubbing or religious nutjobs pushing this crap. <!--coloro:#FFFF00<span style=\"color:#FFFF00\"><!--/coloro<!--sizeo:3<span style=\"font-size:12pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo<!--fonto:Impact<span style=\"font-family:Impact\"><!--/fontoAnd yes, this includes the Mayans.
