Millennium Predictions

Many predicted the start of the new Millennium, the
year 2000 as the date of the apocalypse but
fortunately it was not to be.

Even the millennium bug turned out not to be a problem
with computers working perfectly after midnight
despite claims of a worldwide crash.

So why all the hype? Was it simply the significance of
a new millennium, which caused so may to make
predictions on this date rather than clairvoyance?

Needless to there were hundreds of predictions made
from the arrival of aliens to the coming of Christ
some of which came true. Here are a few:

May 5th was the date upon which all the planets line
up supposedly causing earthquakes, huge tides and
volcano’s etc

Many also predicted the shifting of the poles would
occur during 2000 also causing catastrophic events
such as high tides, widespread electrical failure etc.

Instead of worrying about the end of the world,
currently 2012, we should work together to make the
best of the time we do have on this planet. As well as
ensuring we pass it on to the next generation in the
same condition as we received it.

In this way we may hold off the apocalypse for a long
while yet. We are far more likely to suffer apocalypse
through nuclear war, global warming, events which are
preventable and within our control, than cosmic events
which we have little control over such as asteroids or
the suns expansion.
