    You are saying something I’ve been saying for years. In fact, it was my parent’s generation who I saw anticipating armaggeddon, and they expected it in the year 2000. It’s what the lyrics of ‘Party Like It’s 1999’ are all about.

    I get the idea that when it didn’t happen that way, it surprised a lot of them, and eventually pissed off a bunch of them. They felt like they’d been cheated out of the second coming, or something.

    While my parents are passed now, and didn’t really share the perspective anyway, I think there are still a bunch of these grizzled old assholes around, ready to see it all burn before they croak, just so they can be around when it happened.

      It’s in the realm of “Self-Fulfilling Prophecy” at this point. If God won’t do it, we’ll just make our own Armageddon with internet greed and hypocrisy.
