excellent topic.

as far as the coincidences of our famous friends passing on, like someone else said already - celebrities are mortal two. and just another spec of information about coincidences... Coincidences are a natural occurence. it would, in fact, be a coincidence if on any given day, coincdences did NOT happen.

ponder that

and as for the 2012 thing... i've been thinking lately about whether or not there is some cosmic planet heading our way to destroy our civilization, or some other natural disaster that the Mayans somehow foresaw...

but really, it's kind of like that scene in The Matrix where the Oracle tells Neo not to worry about breaking the vase... and then he breaks it. And she presents him with the question, Would you have broken the vase if I hadn't said anything?

My latest ponderances have been similar... I have been wondering if, because we are putting so much attention on this 2012 thing, if there's gonna be some country in 2012 that just decides to make the future come true and blow us up to bits.

Basically I'm saying I think man will CHOOSE, or rather is capable OF choosing to make this disaster come true... which leads me to the following question: Would the world have survived if nobody had ever predicted it's end?
