The end of the world is always an interesting subject. It is an event so unimaginable, that people will spend countless hours discussing how they would deal with it. Most plans would fall short because the are six billion other people that ill probably get in your way of running up a six trillion dollar credit card debt.
There have been some that have predicted that the United States would fall into economic chaos and a killer disease would spread like wild fire through the media to infest the people nationwide with half-joking mock fear of a silly named plague. These signs, it is said, will be the signal that the beginning of the end is nigh! The prediction coincides with the rising of a dark prince. Some redneck republican have already jumped up and made the obvious joke.
Some predict famine. You know, the thing where people are starving. Like they folks on the other side of the planet that have been starving for decades. The people that could eat, if only there was a place where they grew so much food that the government paid the farmers to throw it out, and then went back to the capital to approve writing a check to buy food to help the starving people. Which is weird, because they could just write one check and buy the food from the farmers and send it to the starving people. Which would kill two stones with one bird instead of putting all the eggs in a blender and watching moss grow.
Another theory is that everything will just stop and blink out, like poorly written ending to the Sopranos. Another theory is a comet.
Our country is obsessed with the end of the world. Songs, movies, books, talk shows, websites, pamphlets, sermons have all been created to put fear into our fellow man. Some folks are looking forward to the end of the world, because “In Case of Rapture, this car will be unmanned”. Presumptive fucks.
People that talk about the end of the world are considered either dreamers, schemers, raving lunatics or Hollywood producers. Sometimes they are all of these things. Most of these people forget that life is a journey, not a destination.
