Yes, an era ends (13th Baktun)... but the 14th Baktun begins. Nowhere, do we find that the Mayans predict 12/21/12 as doomsday. Only fools and those who want to profit off the fears of others, are making this false claim. Don't run out and waste your money on bunkers, water, canned goods, oxygen tanks, etc... people are nuts! Besides, when you have no way of knowing what's to come on a given (so-called) doomsday, how in the hell do you prepare for it?
All that stuff you went and wasted your money on, most likely would be doomed as well.
This was just one of the interesting articles I found where "truth" is apparent.
(notice the count down clock as well)

I agree with this 100%. I will say this though, preparedness should never be discouraged IMO. Not being prepared for the end of the world, but for localized disasters or something like an economic collapse. What's more important than going out and buying kits, water, or canned goods, is just having a plan and making sure everyone in your family knows what to do in any possible or likely event that could happen (depending on where you live etc...).
My unit responded to Katrina, and I can tell you that people that were not prepared had a much tougher time. I saw I wide range of preparedness, ranging from zero to overkill. It was something though, to walk down a street and see some homes completely looted while one or two homes on the same street had fuel and generators ready that enabled the owners to shelter in place and protect their things. We were there to offer these people aid, and they were offering us iced lemon aid!
I know your post was meant for the apocalypse or doomsday crowd, but I just wanted to add that being prepared is not necessarily crazy or a bad thing. I do agree with everything you said though.

Whether they correctly predicted the end of the world or not, I can promise you I will not be at work or doing anything but hanging with my wife and kids on December 21st this year. Just in case, I don't want to be sitting at my desk at work or on a plane when/if all hell breaks loose. Do I BELIEVE the world will end on 12/21/12? No. But am I going to blow it off and go on with my normal daily activities? Nah.
I'm with ya there MJ... I already turned in my vacation day request for that date.
