We never knew the Maya people were referring to this specific collapse :-)

@dacloo is talking about the 2012 end of the world theory- (the Maya peoples of South America have a calender - it runs out at 2012). This was the theme of the film 2012.

There are 3 main ideas about why it ran out:
1) They believed that 2012 was the End of the World
2) There was some solar cycle reason why it ran out, (the end of a solar cycle)
3) They were just lazy and only counted to 2012- like the Y2K bug- without Microsoft...

Thus- the end of the Calender - 2012 actually is about lots of countries printing their own money.

:D

Now- where do I get some of this printed money!!?

And very well. It follows that the current system is not able to reform, and if so does it mean that something needs to fuck someone finally woke up. After the previous crisis, nothing was done, has no control over banks. The case of Greece which showed the immorality leads a government that deceives its foreign partners, the immorality of banks that lend money even though they should not do this. Immoral people who do not pay taxes and then are surprised that he is facing a crisis and demonstrate. In the U.S., so too will the citizens go out into the street before he chose the politicians who ran a private war (BUSH-IRAQ), or the puppets of bankers who are the only thing this can be pretty smile. Every political system is consuming and unless you can see that the current Western system has to change. It is unfortunate that, as usual, at the expense of ordinary people.

Of course, that fear never helps, but the carefree and the belief that the world does not change and will always be a good idea to at least premature. The current financial ecosystems worldwide are more interconnected than ever before. The financial meltdown in one place could cause a collapse everywhere. A serious problem is the banks that ceased to operate on the principle of symbiosis with the economies and began to be parasites that destroy and the host and each other. Will benefit only certain individuals who work only for their personal benefit.

>I still want to see private bank that is not parasite :-)
ha ha ha :-) - Very good :-).

Unfortunately, I'm an idealist and I understand that someone want to earn someone money, but if gainful activity has lead to the collapse of a earning entity is fucking stupid. Hitler came to power, because in Germany after World War I there was a paradise. Hitler came to power in democratic elections because the country's economy zarżnęły German Entente. Tsar did not fall because the "evil" forces are conspiring to him, but he fell because it was inefficient system in which millions of people were starving. Nothing is eternal, and even a good idea to burn. Most empires collapsed not because the enemies are defeated, but the internal reasons.
