The very fact that the mayan calendar ends on a solstice day is why I don't 
 buy into the whole
"this is the end of days" theory. If a mayan were to sit down and merely  
work forward creating
the calendar for years to come, logically they would eventually have to  
stop and the last day would
be a solstice , ending the period. Now if the Mayan calendar ended on  
November 8 or another random
date NOT important to calendar makers I would lend more credence to the  
theory. I would be willing
to bet that if we go to any calendar maker in America and pull up their  
projected calendars going forward,
their day of their last year listed would be December 31st, the end of  a 
normal calendar in our society. 
If you asked me what the last day was on ANY mayan calendar, I would guess  
it would be a solstice day
because it is the cornerstone of their calendar.

The 21st  is what I've gone with because that is the date when the Sun 
lines 
up on  the ecliptic and crosses the galactic equator at the same time and 
is 
as  close as you can get to the exact center of the galaxy. Or however the  
heck you describe it <g>  Plus,  the Mayans were big on  the Solstice.

Another problem with the end of days is that December 21  2012 is the end 
of 
the Long Calendar but is only the end of the 13th  b'ak'tun and folks 
forget 
that there are the 14th through the 20th  b'ak'tuns.  I don't really see 
the 
Mayans making calendars for days  that wouldn't exist <g>
