You do the math. If after doing the math you still believe California is, in the grand scheme of things, sinking and not emerging, then, I have nothing further to write.

Yeah, it never was that CA would "sink" into the pacific. It's that coastal CA will break off from the rest of CA, as the tectonic plate slides away and towards Alaska......in oh, 100 million years or thereabouts. I think we're safe.

Is California going to sink into the ocean? I don't know. 2012 is now two years away.... Hurry, everyone that hates living in California should start packing now. Get out while you can. Move to Missouri, the New Madrid Fault is nothing to worry about.

Yes, it's been well publicized for years. Where have you been?

By the way, that's "overdue" not overdew.

There is also a huge faultline along the nation's midsection that cuts through Texas-Louisiana, yet it never seems to warrant attention. If that one erupted bad enough, we could have a nation divided into smaller chunks.

People think I'm crazy for wanting to move to California because of the earthquakes. But very few places are free from natural threats.

There is a huge misunderstanding about how an earthquake or fault works.

No single quake will "divide" anything.

Perhaps over a span of a hundred million years, a lateral / transverse fault (that's one of 4 types of faults) would change a landmass's shape or even make it into two landmasses.

But all this BS about "Earth Changes" is exactly that.

This whole 2012 thing is a bunch of bull#%@*. Even the Mayans themselves are getting pissed over the Western Culture taking this as 'the end of the world'. Ya wanna know what it REALLY is? On December 21st, 2012, the Mayan Calender will end it's Fourth Phase and start anew in the Fifth Phase. There are Mayan artifacts that predict events all the way into distant 4164! If that doesn't make people disbelieve the 2012 bs then I dunno what will. I am seriously getting sick of watching commercials and getting bombarded with ads advertising the end of the world and how to prepare for it. (I think by now there's more theories as to what will happen on that date than there are 'end-all' dates in the past century.)

If the world was gonna end every time people predicted Armageddon the world would have ended 20 times since the turn of the century (including that very day....Y2K virus wtf the most idiotic theory ever created...seriously I can't believe people bought into that malarkey.) Even Nostradamus has been wrong before, so I don't want to hear any of that in defense to this comment, OR anything related to religion for that matter because I am probably the most non-religious person on the planet (I still respect people's beliefs though, to each his own as it has been said before) but seriously religion is nothing more than superstition to me.

The history channel did several really good shows on 2012 which are posted on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IknJQ...eature=related

It mentions there are a lot of different religions/philosophies that have similar apolcalyptic prophecies (Native American/Chinese-I-Ching/a computer program/Edgar Cayce/Bible/an ancient Roman oracle/ancient British oracles and probably more I forgot about).

I don't think the world is going to come to an end in one day on December 21, 2012. But if one just looks at the financial condition of the United States and many other major countries in the world, you will see that we are on a runaway train as far as debt goes, especially in regard to paying for retirement of the upcoming Baby Boom generation (other countries also have Baby Boom populations). Many countries, including the US have run up debt as a result of the financial crisis.

And some pundits from the right, left, and center (David Icke and Naomi Wolfe come to mind---but George Orwell warned us what was coming over 50 years ago) are starting to notice that a global power elite is running more and more of the show politically and economically--and it's a sure thing this global elite is not looking out for the average people of the world.

So, I guess what I'm saying is, I don't think one needs to be religious to see that the latest recession we are recovering from could very well only seem like child's play compared to what's coming down the line. A couple of really nasty natural disasters would only make that situation worse.

I'm all for rounding up the 2012 fanatics and placing them in FEMA Concentration Camps without any form of electronic communication.

That should solve a lot of problems.
