Just read an article over on http://trueslant.com titled 'The Maya and 2012'. I'm not really a fan of people writing about 2012 if they aren't going to give their opinion on the issue. Just because it's starting to become a popular topic I think more people are writing about it just to gain traffic to their sites- and I guess I'm helping. At any rate, the author cites a few "academics" (Stetson professor.. pleeeeeeeeease) who try to debunk the 2012 apocalypse and also talks about the new 2012 movie. In an upcoming part II of his article, he "..will introduce the various interesting figures popularizing 2012 as a cosmic reckoning" and probably won't give his opinion. Ohhhhh well.
