With this happening, do you think this will let Burma off the front page?

i think they will both be equal, even though Burma is a higher priority, there isn't much to report on right now because we're locked out!

whats hanging in the back of my mind is that this China earthquake might foreshadow an earthquake in the US of equal or higher magnitude, just my opinion (im no geologist).

man the earth seems pissed doesnt she?

Although I'm not superstitious, I believe humans are naturally superstitious at heart, and this thought has crossed my mind. Recently we have seen Burma cyclone, China earthquake, multiple earthquakes in Nevada, tornados galore in the American mid-west and south, heavy rains in my area, etc. Where I live it rained steadily for over 24 hours and dumped a record level of water, flooding roads and making me worry just a bit about my basement.

Why invoke superstition when there is the Gaia hypothesis?:blink:

Natural catastrophes certainly seem to bring out the best and the worst of human nature.

What I know of current Chinese policy suggests at least the relief effort won't be as bleak as it's been in Burma. Hopefully this is indeed the case.
