The thing I like about this October stuff is we are in October right now! Waiting for the end of 2012 to see if anything was going to happen was making me feel very impatient. Four years seems like a long time, even though it isn't.

Having read various predictions about catastrophic events over the last 20 years has taught me that they almost never come true.

Now the possibility of economic catastrophe is right now more than a little bit possible. And how that would radiate out into our day-to-day existence remains to be seen. It could get very ugly.

But the other possible doom scenarios are much less likely, in my opinion.

But I will definitely be paying careful attention over the next two weeks.

Deagle could be right, but I doubt it.

As scary as the worst-case-scenario is, I wouldn't turn down the chance to be present at the climax of history. And I have faith that we are headed for a future that is much sweeter than these troubled times.
