He didn't get it for anything. One of the newscasters I was listening to basically said it was like he got the Heisman Trophy before even playing for a season. He basically got it because he is "supposed" to be a peaceful leader. But what they said he got it for was trying to stop nuclear arms before he was the president.

He's done that. I just think it's really funny that arizona state didn't give him an honorary degree in May because his body of work is in front of him, yet he wins the most prestigious award on earth 6 months later. whatever, i think it lends credence to his cause, which we should all be behind.

Have any of you guys read a book called, The Late Great Planet Earth by Hal Lindsey? Some of you might be interested in it. It's a book of biblical prophecy that predicts the end of the world. If you read it you'll see a lot of similarity with modern times (it was published in the early 70s i recall). it's a short afternoon type read.

Haven't read or heard of that book but the idea certainly doesn't confound me. Personally, I really do believe that history does repeat itself although not in a biblical process.

Ya I think the world will end with us getting blown up by our own nukes. Probably not in 2012 though. But if it does happen in 2012 I will eat my words.

Dude.
2012 has nothing to do with the world ending and that is a profound misconception. The Mayans suggest that 2012 is when we enter the next age of enlightenment. The world passes though several astrological ages and we are about to enter the age of Aquarius. This is corroborated by the Christian bible in which Jesus tells his disciples that after he leaves they will be greeted by a man bearing a pitcher of water..
the correlations are astounding.. but I'm drunk and about to head to work so I'm not going to spend much more time divulging into this. I'd simply suggest actually reading into what the Mayan's had to say. And uh.. Kymatica and Esoteric Existence..

That book has nothing to do with the mayan calender and I didn't imply that it did.
