Blanche,
The person I am talking about knows little more than rampant hysteria. She weeps over the newspaper.

CesiumClockWatcher,
I'm no good with numbers, so I'd be lousy at numerology. I've come to the same conclusion: nobody knows what's going to happen. Although it feels to me like the Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times<, because "interesting" seems to be a pallid misnomer for whatever the hell is going on.
I probably wouldn't name a kid Damien, just because people would react like your sister and her coworker, thereby causing the chaos. So, to bow to public superstition, I'd probably name him Sam or something. Emotions are not tools of cognitions, but neither are intuitions and feelings to be discarded, "gut" feelings are also valid, just not rampant hysteria.
