"The eastern world, it is exploding"
"Violence flaring and bullets loading"

Can we make it to December 21, 2012, when the Mayan Calendar expires?

I know it's Friday, but sometimes it's hard for me to be glad about many of these tragic things that I see unfolding around our fragile old home planet. Wars and rumors of wars, mankind has not gotten none the wiser with age.

Politics, Toxic
Air, Toxic
Water, Toxic
Food Toxic
Religion, Toxic
Checkmate?

Hope is in intensive care, faith, trust and "by the people and for the people,"(our envisioned American democracy)all but extinct. With more bad news expected at any second.

Does anyone have a navigational chart for shit creek handy?

2. I fear that time is drawing nearer!
Even my guitar sounds out of tune half the time.

3. We will make it to when the Mayan calendar expires and beyond.
Unfortunately, so will the horrors, the pain, the misery, the wars, the major disasters, and the aimless, horrifying experience of drifting through shit creek without a paddle or a map in slow motion.

Unfortunately, this is it. This is what our lives are going to be for the foreseeable future. Who says there is no Hell on Earth? We've created a very realistic fascimile at the very least, have we not?

Soon, we will all become immune (jaded, desensitized) to the horrors and pass them all to the next generation. It sounds sick and perverted, but it is true. Sadly, that is the way it works.
