In my religion class of late, we've been discussing the topic of apocalypsus every so often. That is, the spiritual/religious idea of a major change in the earth or the world as we know it that is brought on by a higher force. Usually, this change is preceeded by some sort of signs or rituals that might signify an impending shift in the world.
The scary thing is, if you look at the fact that Terminator just became the governor of California combined with the doubly strange victories that Boston and Chicago have had of late, I think you're looking at the heralds to some strange inevitable fate that is now close at hand.
I'm not trying to tell you that you need to clear out the old "Millenium Shelters" that I know you all must have, nor am I trying to convert you Druids out there into snake-handling Pentacostals or vice-versa. Simply, I'm looking at the facts that have been laid before us and putting two and two together.
