Dont they know (its the end of the world)

I suppose endtimes are near. Soon to come, in a cosmic cycle kind of way. maybe another 50 years, maybe another 100 or maybe tommorow. My friend tells me that the Mayan calender end at 2012. he says one interpretation of that is that year is the year the world ends-in apocalypse.

In the great Hindu Tetrayugams ( the great cosmic cycles) this is age of destruction (kaliyugam).

In the words of the Bible, someone once proclaimed some years back that the age of rapture has begun.

Well the signs are already there. the extreme polarization of the peoples of this planet. The extreme racism, religious phobia-all this due to the clash of peoples, cultures and aspirations and beliefs due to Globalization.

The great English scientist Richardson tried to predict the coming of wars in a mathematical sort of way. I think he didnt really succeed.

But since almost everyones got THE weapon and THE delivery systems, how long before a madman decides to unleash all this onto the world.

The US is the cleverest place on the earth. But much of their cleverness is being fuelled by foreigners, mainly Indian and Chinese. How long before these two countries, with their clever people returned from the states are on par with the US?

Is Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) good? this was, they say, the reason, the US and the Soviet Union did not fight a conventional war. The possible use of nuclear weapons and the resulting catastrophic consequences would have precluded war.

The Bible says that there would be a long epriod of peace before Armegeddon.

The Hindu book the Mahabharatha says the humankind will again perish in a flood and the Lord Vishnu in his final avatar as Kalki would appear as a tiny being floating on a leaf as all around him perishes in the flood. Is this the more likely situation as the world increasingly faces global warming and the melting of the polar ice caps.

Well whatever it is and however its going to end, lets all have a good time before we go.
