Anyway so it would make sense that this would happen 2012 because it was predicted that this date would be the end of the world by the mayans or aztec, cant remember which one. It might be a metaphor for not the end of the world exactly but the end of the world as we know it.
We may leave this planet, travel to another, or just gain that ability. Its frightening to realize how much change that would bring about us. What would we do with the criminals? Leave them here, I mean it would be anarchy and there would be alot of suffereing, maybe war.
And you must think of those things also, you know how many years it would take to figure things like that out. Sometimes you have to think of it liek this.... when you were younger your parents hid things from you to protect you and sometimes our government takes on that role of parent. What they dont realize is that we are not children, and we would like a say so but communism doesnt work, thats why we have a democracy and if they want to protect us and figure out how to make this happen then they will and there is nothing that a single person or group can do about it.
For the good of the people as a whole.
