This will not end well.
No my friend, it will not. I'm no Mayan calender theorist, but this is my outlook for 2012:
Race riots in the USA throughout the summer, prepping for the election
A major Mideastern war: Egypt, Syria, Turkey, and Iran (all on the same side)
Civil war in Greece
A crisis in the Strait of Taiwan
A thoroughly failed U.S. bond offering.
