The Day After The End Of The Universe

It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over…And Maybe Not Even Then 

Same Place I Was Yesterday

December 22, 2012 

If you're anything like me - and I'm not suggesting that you should be - you didn't wake up dead this morning and were surprised, delighted, disappointed, bemused and/or unfazed to learn that all the mis-interpreters of Mayan cosmology were somehow wrong and the world did not come to a screeching halt.

 

Well, all's well that doesn't end…well? As we turn the page stela signaling the next Mayan age, I wish the Mayans better luck this time. Their world pretty much came to an end with the arrival infestation of the Spanish conquistadors. Sure the Mayan people didn't all disappear, but their civilization was never the same once the Spaniards brought their myriad gifts of death and destruction to the New World. Well guess what, the game is still on and now the descendants of the Maya and their fellow travelers are teeming northward and will soon be a majority in the USA. They already had a hand in shaping our political landscape by overpowering stupid white people in our recent election. The wheels of justice/Karma/revenge turn slowly. The last laugh has not yet been had. 

Maybe things are not as they appear. It's possible, the dense and easily distractible modern mind was too busy texting or watching movies on their smart phones to notice that the world actually did end yesterday and now we are simply all Born Again. 

The other Earth shattering event that did not take place yesterday was the NRA did not finally take a serious stand on the snowballing gun violence, which is coming to define our society. Instead, NRA executive vice president and CEO, Wayne LaPierre blamed video games, music videos, the media and movies, but not the incredibly violent Bible, for the ease with which various people with actual guns can mow down innocent people in a matter of minutes or seconds. Instead of anything even vaguely resembling a thoughtful response, or thought of any kind, LaPinhead squealed for - I'm not making this up - armed guards at every American school. I'm assuming that would be to protect our children from people like LaPierre. You couldn't pry a speck of intellect or compassion from his cold dead brain. 

So Long And Thanks For All The Firearms 

So, on we go into the mysterious future, mysterious save for the fact that we will continue to see many more incidents of senseless slaughter as a result of music videos guns in the hands of unstable individuals, exercising their Second Amendment rights and who have the full faith and credit of the NRA.
