First, I'm no expert of predicting what will happen in 2012. This is just how I see things unfolding and what I would offer as advice.
First, and saying this with a very straight face, if it's going to happen, it's going to happen. Nothing anyone on this planet can do about it, so make your peace with whatever God your worship, and what happens...happens.
On the other hand, I think two other (but related) possibilities are very possible. One is, people are going to start getting really desperate as that date draws closer, and with the media reminding us of everyday about it, that's not going to help but stir the flames. People will think they need to steal,loot, and commit acts of violence, (because after all, the world's going to end, so there's no consequences for your actions).
On the other hand, I think those same acts will happen, people becoming more and more desperate, acting out, etc....but maybe not the majority of the population Lets say even a third of the U.S. population acts in such a way (the criminal element), the other 2/3's(you and I) have to protect ourselves, your families, your property. I would suggest being prepared to do that. Not go looking for trouble, but just be ready to keep yourself safe, and take care of those that are important to you. I'm not advocating violence in any way, but I think the element in our society that only thinks of themselves, will think nothing of taking what they want if you have it, and don't have the means to protect yourself. No matter how big and bad you are, believe me when I say there's always someone bigger and badder that will no think twice about taking what they want if they think they can get away with it.
In a nutshell.....If it happens, it happens, make your peace, and see you on the other side.
But whether it does or doesn't happen, I feel that certain people will start getting really stupid and try to take what isn't theirs to take. Protect yourself, be aware of your surroundings and what's going on around you, prioritize what's really important to you (family, shelter, food)....just my two cents.
