Fuck....
Now we have to worry about Dec 21, 2012...

As if Global Warming and stray Asteroids and Errant Comets and terrorists attacks and that hoary old stand by, Armageddon...

Now the Fucking Mayans and the I-Ching and Merlin and the Bible all agree, by some reckoning, that the world will spin out of control, dogs will sleep with cats, republicans will suddenly find a soul and the meek will inherit the earth...

Or what's left of it...

When did the fucking History Channel become the disaster of the week network...

What ever happened to shows like the 100 most influential people of the millenium...

Now it's recycled biblical shit with smatterings of hoochie couchie magic and vodoo...

3. People got sick of WWII programming
Which are probably being redone for endless marathons with Saddam taken out and Iran's leader put in.

12. same here
I don't see how it's like the GDP of AM - care to elaborate? I've been listening to coast to coast for years.... mostly it's crap, but I can rarely turn it off. I like to listen to it when I go to sleep. Ahhh... the sweet bliss of having nothing to think about.

5. Aw geez, not this shit again.
Sigh. 12/21/2012 is NOT, repeat NOT, the end of the world. Although the History Channel and its ilk can implode on or before that date for their fearmongering tactics in the name of ratings.

That date marks the shift between the world we know and a change in vibration. But, in truth, that shift has been occurring for the past several years and will continue up to and past that date. No apocalypse, no cataclysms, and no the Mayan calendar does not predict the end of time.

There will be an astronomical alignment, though, which will be interesting.

9. Sadly people believe that tripe...
I call it 'creative writing,'
but there are some out there who take every single
word as literal truth.

When you learn a little bit about how the
present day 'Bible' was put together,
you realize how far fetched these shows are...

And sadly, people live their lives based on
these 'untruths.'

I want a show where they get some rational
people on a panel, yes, even a few
religious types who haven't left their
brain out in the rain...
and have them walk thru the history
of the scripture,
with the opening statement:
"God/Moses/Jesus did NOT write the Bible..."
and take it from there...

15. Relax.
Wolf-Rayet 104 probably went supernova over 7,996 years ago.

When the gamma ray burst gets here it'll make getting the History Channel impossible.
