Wayne had the day off on Monday so we went to see "2012". It was advertised as being about the end of the world. I was too much in the mindset of latter-day prophecy, so I was expecting to see plagues, signs in the heavens, crime and wickedness, people dividing into tribes because of political anarchy, etc., but it had none of those things. I was a little disappointed that the plot went totally differently than what I had expected.
The way they showed it, society was totally fine, everyone was healthy, and the polical leadership was intact in every nation. The only thing that was happening, which is in prophecy, is that the natural world was in commotion. There were lots of earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis, and the magnetic poles of the earth got all changed. And then after most of the people in the world died from those things, the world settled down and there were bunches of people who lived to repopulate the earth.
The ways the people escaped from the disasters were completely improbable and implausible, but as Wayne said, "It was a fun ride".
