I heard geoligists theorize the cause of this earthquake was actually do to a religion afterall, it seems all the voodoists (is that a word, if not I want to coin it now) have dug up so many graves for ritual uses they have destabilized the very foundation of the land, or maybe not.

considering the earthquake happened 10 miles underground i doubt a bunch of surface holes did anything.

I thought it was The Onion style jab at Pat.

Who cares about what Danny Glover has to say? I prefer to not attach an agenda to a natural occurance and just blame earthquakes on plate tectonics, but hey, that's just me. I was in an earthquake of almost the same magnitude in Seattle, but nobody really died -- except one person, of a heart attack. I guess since buildings weren't totally leveled it means we somehow didn't anger God or a false mother nature deity.

Maybe instead of assigning the blame on God or creating some angry vengeful mother nature deity that's somehow responsible, they should consider the real issue, i.e., that a lot of people hadn't died if there was a stronger infrastructure and there wasn't such a vast divide between the world's rich and poor. But I guess people don't really like to think about that reality and who's actually responsible.

Stronger infrastructure and a vast divide between the rich and the poor . . . yes. What is the reason for that? Haiti has plenty of resources. So do most African regions. Why, then, are they so poor? Hong Kong was nothing but a cluster of rocks. The per capita income in Hong Kong is far greater than Haiti or anywhere in Africa. As long as some people think they have the right to take money from non-aggressive people at gunpoint . . .

The difference is Dictatorship verses Republics and Democracies. As well as Capitalist Nations verse Socialist/Communist Nations.

And the only differences [i]among [/i]dictatorships, republics and democracies are merely how much they rob, how they go about robbing, and which non-criminals they brutalize.

Oh whatever. In that case, the digging of more graves for those killed by the earthquake will cause more death, leading to more graves, leading to more earthquakes. If the geologists that think this are right ... Mother Earth is pretty dumb.

Your rejection of the legitimacy of a just State, such as Free Republics is also a reject of the authority of God. But you can't see that... I understand.
