I can however possibly see the world governments jumping on the whole 2012 issue and using it for thier own agenda of gaining more control of the populace. Especially here in the U.S. While everyone panics thinking the sky's gonna fall or the grounds going to swallow them or the whole worlds just gonna go KABOOM!!!! the government will probably just take away freedom after freedom after freedom all in the name of the preservation of life on Earth. "WE MUST FIRST SAVE YOU BEFORE WE CAN SAVE THE PLANET AND BY ESTABLISHING PEACE AND SECURITY THROUGH OUR CONTROL WE ARE SHOWING MOTHER EARTH THAT WE CAN DISCONTINUE OUR WARS AND OUR DESTRUCTION OF THE PLANET AND THE PLANET WILL BEGIN TO HEAL ITSELF. WE WILL BE SAVING THE EARTH BY SAVING OURSELVES!
