This is a relief. Peacenik has been thinking that the big collapse was more imminent. But a Mayan phrophecy says Peacenik has a couple of more years to think about the dystopian future.

A lonely sentinel with a shiny silver revolver strapped to his waist, the retired U.S. Army sergeant scans the wooded horizon with a pair of binoculars for signs of the coming cataclysm. He sees things others don’t—the apocalyptic omens that, he says, are everywhere if you know how to connect the dots.
