It's just that the people who actually live and experience REAL doom either aren't GLP posters, or physically can't cause of said doom. There's doom happening every day on this planet. What we're all just waiting for is that ONE event so big that the world can't turn its cheek to it. We're all also hoping it will be big enough to go around telling all our skeptics "I told ya so!" but not big enough to hit home in any way.
