Encephalon Posted June 20, 2009 Looks like Hollywood is going to treat 2012 like an impersonal release of pent-up cosmic tension, rather that what is looking like a likely point of convergence between social, economic, and ecologic collapse.

Owledge Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) Fear campaign as a weapon against love and compassion.
