DOOMSDAY DENIERS: I understand that the world will come to an end on December 21, 2012 – except in Santa Barbara.
That’s because nothing ever happens here unless we put it on the ballot. And not even then, most of the time.
I hear that millions of people in the outside world believe predictions – something to do with the Mayan calendar – that Earth will die in some horrible cataclysm that day. But I have not found one Santa Barbaran who believes it.
