At least that's according to a German expert who says his decoding of a Mayan tablet with a reference to a 2012 date denotes a transition to a new era and not a possible end of the world as others have read it.Does this mean that Obean will lose?

| #10 Perhaps the German Pert as noted was premature .. To wit, * BEFORE ITS NEWS > SHOCKED SCIENTISTS ASK: IS THE SUN DYING?, prematurely in contrance to prevailing theory. Lest we fergit, 1990's NET > ME [paraph] = IMO IFF ONE KILLS THE MESSIAH, BY EXTENSION OR BY DEFINITION ONE ALSO KILLS THE SUN. All together now, wid feeling - ARE WE HAPPY NOW??? |

| #9 "No Matriarchial SYstems survived after 1500 BCE". And thusly, Virginia, we once again again learn why God + 1960's = 1980's MTV gave us MADONNA. PRE FUTURE OWG PAULA "DELILAH/BATHSHEBA" ABDUL + PRE FUTURE BRAD/LARA ANGELINA, ........@ETAL. Personally I blame OSAMA + his MTV favorite WHITNEY. YOOHOO, AYMAN, I'M A'LOOKIN AT YOU! |

| #5 Those who tout horizontal, collaborative 'feminine' organization as a natural thing tend not to have lived through junior high school as a girl. Or have forgotten it, if they did. |

| #2 "Transitioning to a new era" does have an ominous ring to it. According to some of the New Age types, this is a transition from the "Piscean age" to the "Aquarian age". Despite the mountain of b.s. surrounding it, probably the best capsule summary to describe this would be the transition from patriarchal-hierarchical forms of organization to matriarchal forms of organization. Nothing particularly spiritual about this, just that patriarchal-hierarchical systems begin to function with less efficiency than their matriarchal equivalent. So when people want something done effectively, they use the matriarchal systems to do it. A transition to many more females in politics and government, at first using the patriarchal patterns, but as they become dominant, shifting to more productive ways for them to do business. |
