I appreciate all the the posters comments:

I appreciate the knowledge of “the triangle of life”. You learn something new everyday. Instinctively, I feel being outside is best, but if caught in the middle of the night- I’d probably crawl under my bed. It makes sense however things may fall straight down, but it’s nice to have a buffer to catch the full impact and by gravity weight will slant.

It’s sad, but thinking about it you are right those individuals who simply stayed in their cars-were crushed like pancakes.

Growing up in Texas, we were told during tornadoes to go along the wall and crouch. Lucky enough one never passed over us (I always had visions of school children swirling in the air). Your experience in Mexico is touching and sad. I truly hope you are running a blog or giving seminars on earthquake safety awareness. Thank you for the information.

The idea for companies to implement an emergency earthquake plan is a good one and I’m surprised that all the companies I worked with never even mentioned it. Gives me something to look forward too on Tuesday when I go back to work.

Oddly, last night I told my fiance that I felt a big quake coming. I don’t know if the earthquakes in Chile, Okinawa and Haiti released tension, or made those tectonic plates even more stressed and compacted?

It’s just been too darn quiet in LA and San Fran, but I don’t want to spread any bad mojo.

A lot of good information and an eye opening post- thanks all!

Hi John, nice to see you again. I don’t think your post is inflammatory. I agree that environmentalism could be seen as a religion only before it went by other names such as Transcendentalism or Romanticism. Even Buddhism and passages from the Bible preach respect for the environment. Whatever John Muir believed and felt I think was a religion to him. Not saying I agree, but I can see how they could maneuver it if they only changed the name.

Hmmm could socialism be a religion. I don’t know. I often think socialism and communism are confused. We know that communism becomes the religion in the absence of God.

Socialism could be close to a religion maybe Christianity in its purist sense. Give to the poor, “love one another as I have loved you”, “a man cannot serve two masters” etc.

I’m sure plenty will disagree, but it seems closer to the spirit of Jesus than capitalism…

I think it is hard to say if socialism as a concept has completely failed. It’s only been since WWI that much of the world went from being monarchies to finding their way with out it; our history books are filled with their rocky road to the present state of being.

WWI until now is such a small little pocket in history. Its even smaller because its really from the 1940’s that it became more and more of an ideology Europe shared.

It’s hard for me to base the concept of socialism solely on Hitler’s Germany, because it was Hitler. I don’t have to go in to detail, but it’s unfortunate he had to rid Europe of 6 million Jews, homosexuals, gypsies etc. and be in a continuous war with Russia and all of Europe, because maybe he could have done something. Maybe he could have dug Germany out of the hole by the Beetle alone- just kidding.

Much of Europe seems to be doing fine right now; no worse than us. The Euro dipped this month, but once again no worse than us. Many of the people who live in France, England, Denmark etc love their system. Really I think we are afraid of socialism because we have a third world country below us and few European socialist countries have that.

Many of us, myself included have this idea of an illegal immigrant coming over, having three babies, going to the psychologist, some how getting on disability due to depression…

Any way I would like some examples of where socialism has failed aside from Hitler’s Germany and not examples of Communism.

Best Regards,

Shannon

I didn’t mean to offend, I felt I was commenting on the ridiculousness of the original poster who wanted to darn an entire city based on a few dirty politicians. I will keep from using foul language and I have never before used that kind of language.

Also, please look at at the beginning of the thread and you will see what i was referencing. I don’t go on this to throw some nasty ‘F’ bombs without provocation.

[quote=Casca]Really sdgrrl, one wonders what else you do with that mouth. I don’t recall anyone expressing those sentiments. Having lived in Chicago, I can tell you that the corruption there s so rife, and so heavy-handed that it is in one’s face all of the time. Most places you don’t have to notice it if you don’t want too, and occasionally find a straight game, not in Chicago.[/quote]

Casca, sorry if I offend I guess others can say fuck, but not me.

Its not ridiculous to say “fuck Chicago” because of corrupt officials. Well I say “fuck” to all the other places that have corrupt officials. Please condemn me and let the other poster suffer no reprieve. Give me a break and please get off your high horse.
