The earth wants to remind us that we do not control this planet, and we had better look after her.
Otherwise she will take matters into her own hands.

Remember last year when issues regarding Iran was headline news and there was a major earthquake.

Clearly God is punishing them for Americas Capitalism.

We should let Europe and Canada pay for the cleanup on this one..
We took the last one.

Won't happen though.

A 4.6 in Fashion Valley Cal. made me wet myself. I simply cant imagine what a 8.0 would feel like, nor what kind of damage it would do. The death toll would be bigger than any natural disaster we've seen in this country. Its horrible to even contemplate.
