I don't think the world will end on the Mayan date of end times on Dec 21, 2012. I wouldn't worry about that date.
coolbeers, I predict the world wil end in about 1800 years from now.
In the near future I predict a new world order of one world currency and one world government. Currently there are plans for a North America Union including USA, Canada and Mexico with one currency Amero.
The EU is one example of the current one government and one currency new world order already in effect.
