This day may come. Whether in our lifetime our during the life of some of our progeny, if it does come, I hope they have prepared.
I don’t really worry about 2012, but as the close encounter with the meteor this weekend reminds, you just never know. Of course the last die off in North America occurred 12,000 years ago due to a comet either crashing into NA or exploding above it.

And that’s just the natural calamities.
Noting to worry about.
