I haven't heard anyone say it yet so let me be first. They live on a major tectonic fault line which has in the recent past caused huge damage. They all group together in dense conurbations. They mostly make buildings in construction and materials as likely to kill the occupants in an earthquake as possible. Ergo...... -- Hog

They have a One World agenda and would like to move us all back to the 16th century. For me, the threat of man made change to the atmosphere is a technology opportunity, primarily for the Western world. And phasing out the burning of fossil fuels for energy generation is already 20 years overdue. Thanks very much Thatcher for the Rush to Gas. Nice that Mr Obama has proved to be smarter than the opposition. -- Hog |
