Just wondering, what people's thoughts on 2012 are. End of the world, or just Y2K style hype?

What's going to get us? A comet/meteorite, nuclear holocaust, lack of electromagnetic shield to protect us from the solar winds, nothing, yellowstone supervolcano, God's wrath... or all of the above?

I think maybe the Mayans just had to much on their plate to extend the calendar beyond 2012, and then they got wiped out before they could resume.

Our electromagnetic field has survived previous polar reversals, so no reason to think it will fail with the upcoming one.

A meteor is a slim but real possibility.

Yellowstone supervolcano will not be the end of the world, but its unlikely I would survive it.
