I saw a History Channel special on the Mayans and the date marking the end of the Mayan calendar. The Mayan archaeologist pointed out that the Mayan descdendants themselves lament the Western New Age fuss about momumental changes on Dec. 21, 2012. I have noted with amusement how many New Agers, fearing yet another decisive example of psychic woo woo, have backtracked and suggested that nothing dramatic or observable will occur on that date, but that an imperceptible change will begin to accelerate. There is no limit to gullibility when the need for falsification tests is not respected. The whole uproar is shades of the constant resetting of the date for Jesus' Second Coming, especially over the past 200 years. When, once again, nothing observable happens, there will be one positive result: a further decline in the already dwindling public interest in New Age sensationalism.
