Well,
it’s the morning of December 21, 2012, and the world as we’ve known it is still
here. Now we can reflect on what the end of the Mayan Long Count calendar
really means—the ushering in of what might be called “a new era” or as the
Mayans conceived it “beyond the 13th
b’ak’tun.” And according to their concept of time, since the first four
creations failed, perhaps we can make it work this time. Accordingly, here are
a few suggested headlines a New Era would expect to produce. Please comment to include
your own hopeful headlines:
· World Peace Established
· All Guns Abolished—Existing Firearms
Turned In Around the World
· Congress and President Agree on Sane
Fiscal Policy: Fiscal Cliff Averted
· Global Climate Warming Acknowledged
by International Community: Worldwide Environmental Policies Established
· Vatican Welcomes Women to Full
Ministry: Pope Acknowledges Married, LGBT Priesthood
