Is 12-21-2012 really the end?

there are other things to consider as to end of the world scenarios. as far as the mayan calender is concerned, it's no big deal. the mayan calender project simply lost their funding, so they wrapped it up and went and did something else. think about it, these guys charted the calender 1000 years in the future. got a calender? does it end in three months? are you worried?
