I got wrapped into this crap for a min like last year.. but.. its just propaganda. It fun to watch people get all hyped about it though. There are LOTS of exoplanets out there.. YES governments hide all sorts of bullshit from the people. I also believe in Aliens WELL OVER any form of organized religion. But everyone dying in 2012 is a crock of shit, and if we do, then so be it.
Japan.. yes that sucks for them.. crisis.. well that is what happens when you live on an island. This planet will ALWAYS have disasters.. its part of life folks.. Not trying to be shallow hearted but COME ON, look how many times people get washed over in Louisiana... but they keep on living there when you KNOW it gets flooded every damn year DUH! Wanna live on the coast or an island? You already know the risk.
