Y2K was related to one specific problem-- that many computer programs from years before did not allow for a progression into the 2000's; they might reset at an earlier date and cause all sorts of things to happen with possibly dire consequences.
Quoting: Ralph--a house dog Exactly. Y2K had a single, reasonably understood, man-made/man-fixable issue. December 21, 2012, by comparison, is completely amorphous. People who believe in December 21, 2012 as a DOOM date are not aligned on what will happen; giant invisible planet collision, solar flares, earth quakes, aliens, spiritual phenomena, pole reversal, financial doom, etc. And, most of the Dec 21, 2012 communication to the public has been through action movies and conspiracy blogs with a few novelty news stories. As a result, people who have been taken in by the 2012 Fear Machine don't know what to expect and are looking for signs everywhere ... "I heard there was a solar flare this week, and now I have the sniffles! DOOOOM!!!" Dec. 21 is always the shortest day of the year, and when Winter really sets in for good, bad or worse, but Christmas alwayslifts your spirits: Happy Birthday Baby Jesus: [ link to www.youtube.com] Silent Night-Wanamaker Organ: www.wanamakerorgan.com-Friends of the Wanamaker Organ [ link to www.youtube.com] Dec. 21 is also the first day of Winter this year.
