BP Oil Spill and 2012

How can a country, nay--a world--function with so many rich morons running it? *shakes head slowly* I use to be cynical *insert shocked gasp* about 2012, but the more I see how things are progressing, the more I'm convinced we're all royally fucked.

For example:

The Sun: In two years, it's estimated that the sun will project severe solar flares that can very well knock out satellites and destroy communication, even power, around the world for a significant period of time. If this happens, I'm camping out for a couple years.

US vs. Eurasia: Enough said

BP Oil Spill: Dead birds, fish, and no more shrimp for the foreseeable future? FML.

However, my dad had a most excellent point about the Mayan prediction for the end of the world being in 2012:

"The Mayans, huh? Alright, answer me this: if they knew so much, how come they didn't see the conquistadors coming? And for that matter, how come none of them are left? Hmm? HMMM?"


Touche, dad. Touche.
