One Man's Apacalypse is Another Man's Treasure
We've all heard about the world coming to an abrupt end in 2012, and as we approach the year of finality, the unfounded fear and hysteria is only going to get worse... and Robert Vicino is only going to get richer.
Apparently, this classy entrepreneur is building five-star bomb shelters in twenty locations across the United States in preparation for the end times in 2012. He uses the spike in seismic activity of late as evidence that mankind's guest appearance on Earth is, indeed, coming to a close. He's charging fifty grand for a bunk bed in a room of four, and if his capitalistic benevolence hasn't floored you already, he's allowing pets for free!
Why this whole deal amazes me, I don't know. I guess after all the tea party protesters screaming of the end of democracy and the Birthers afraid of having an Al-Qaeda member as Commander in Chief and Bush era threat level colors, it should come as no suprise that people are freaking out over a bunch of unfounded,controversial claims by radical, imaginative historians. Instead of doing some research to squelch their fears of dying in a flood or massive, global inferno, they would rather drop fifty Gs to buy an underground bunk bed.
This just further proves my theory that people love to be afraid, and hate to be informed. Pessamism is an inherant trait, I guess. We have to learn how to be educated.
