The difference about 2012 is that it represents the end of the 13th baktun, where the whole calender needs to roll over rather than just the least significant bit, to speak. Just like leading up to 2000, 1000, or any significant rollover of a calender, people are going to ascribe all kinds of meaning to it and drag the loonies out of the woodwork.
