“BREAKING NEWS: Turkey quake kills ‘many’ people, town’s mayor tells AP”
Having been in that part of the world I ponder the question; over the eons how many people have these same rocks fell on and killed? The peasants build their houses by stacking loose rocks for walls and then there’s an earth quake, stones fall and kill people. Then, these rocks are stacked for walls again, then there’s another earthquake, rocks fall and kill a bunch of people, repeat process over and over till you are tired. So, is this where the definition of insanity was created? You know, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome...
Well, you KNOW what their Ideology (I am among those who are refusing to call it a “religion”) is, which is ALSO the definition of insanity.
Insanity = Islam
Instead of trying to learn from nature and improve their lot, Muslims just shrug and say it's "Allah's will".
And what makes you think they expect a different outcome? :)
That’s the gift of Islam and a gift that just keeps on giving!
But...TRADITION! That rock has killed my ancestors for 20 generations. TRADITION! TRADITION! Without our tradition, we’d be as shaky as...as...that ROCK! WATCH OUT!
These people definitely need to study and use straw bale construction techniques. Much more quake proof and no heavy stones to crush and kill. Lots about straw bale at Google; also hurrican resistant.
Meanwhile, here is a story about the aftermath of the great Japan tsunami. Apparently a 1,000 by 2,000 mile debris field is headed our way. Due to hit Midway in Jan., Hawaii in 2013 and North America in 2014. I certainly hope all those West Coast recyclers make their plans well in advance. Twenty million tons is a lot of debris. SC, this might be suitable for the Catastrophism list.
