+1 on that. We don't have earthquakes here, but I've lived through an F4, and it sucked hard. Not a damn thing you can do about the train you are getting run over with. |

| It appears that someone needs to teach these kids that politics is both an ugly and dirty game so you might as well stay at home if you cannot take a little mudslinging.
