2012?

Simple question.  Did the Mayan calendar include a year 0? If not then watch out this December..

     I was born in 1965, in Detroit, MI. This puts me on the cusp of Baby boom and Gen X, (depending who you ask). I spent my early childhood in Virginia then returned to Detroit. My mother is black and my father white. I was baptized Catholic but am non practicing. I've had more than 4 years of college and a year of Technical school but never declared a major (actually I attended schools in the North and South, they don't tend to transfer credits between each other) I found all of these circumstances to have been very special. In short I have never known the surety of normality, where do I fit in?

   As I grew and matured, I wish I had simply stayed on the farm. The violence and the injustice perpetrated on the weakest (and dare I say the poorest) of our society (and the world for that matter) is shameful.  FDR wrote up a document called the Citizens bill of rights. Sadly it probably wouldn't have passed Congress even if he had lived long enough. I hear and see remarks by people (politicians and others) who say if UR poor it’s UR own fault, if you think that you’re as foolish as wrong-way Wainwright was.

     Virginia had wide open spaces, fresh air, fields to run in, streams to fish and beautiful star gazing on clear nights. Most cities have none of these it saddens me to say and things are going to get worse. In the history of the United States there has never been such a disproportionate balance in wealth (excluding the Great Depression) . I still say eating the rich (not literally) before they seriously arm themselves is the best plan, but what do I know? Well I know one thing, and that’s when it’s time to get out of Dodge. The time is approaching. I'm not espousing that doomsday is near but I think our over dependence on technology and the decimation of the non recovering middle class will be our undoing.

   The scales of humanity should be balanced, they are not and because of this the entire system worldwide is in danger of tipping over. If the environment doesn't get us first (ha ha).
