Is 2012 the new Y2K?

Well, the calendar on my computer goes out past 2012, so I'm not worried. MicroSoft can't make a mistake, can they?

 we live in the country , so we always have stuff stored because of weather and power failures, the only difference is how much to store, it is like sw said it is a lifestyle that I grew up with. I just hope for all the sales afterward so I can buy more cool stuff :

Heck, I'll be 70 years old by then, so for myself I won't give a rat's ars.  Up until then I will consider my self fortunate for living a prosperous, free and happy life.  In fact I'm planning on getting the most expensive bottle of single malt scotch, sit on my back porch and get s*** faced.  Sounds like a good excuse anyways.

As others have stated I wont do anything different. I will just sit back and watch to see what kind of crap the media stirs up (if any) and then go from there.

I already have a survivalist state of mind from being in Law Enforcement and the military and I do not foresee any of that changing in the next 3 years.

Just when I thought I might make it to collecting Social Security at age 62....

Nice going Mayans!

I think the 2012 thing is very interesting.  I dont buy into the whole planet x thing but there are other things that could happen that are very interesting. For example  the north and south poles could start to wobble and finally shift,  or the sun may act up and produce huge solar flares.  what is going to happen for sure is that the earth and sun with Aline with the center of our galaxy and we will past thro the "dark riff"  an arm of the black hole in the center of our galaxy.  if you ask me a pole shift or bad solar flares from the sun are not that far fetched of an idea both have happened in the past,  and a blast in the right place from the right kind of solar flare could act like a giant EMP and even a polar shift may effect the way electronics work.  what do you guys think?
