JAPANESE EARTHQUAKE SETS RECORD
The recent 8.9 earthquake in Japan was a record setter, being the seventh largest in recorded history and the largest ever recorded in Japan. The resulting tsunami took only moments to crash onto Japan’s seashores and crushed much of what was left standing. All of this tragedy was punctuated by the ominous threat of meltdown in at least two nuclear energy facilities; a radioactive cloud spewed from one as a containment building erupted in a massive explosion. COMMENTS:
Mother Nature is often as explosive as segments of human societies. I can’t help but to compare it to the union demonstrations in Wisconsin… sheer, ugly pandemonium without explanation. TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What causes earthquakes? (Barry ~ Tehachapi, CA)A. Although earthquakes have been around on all astrological bodies since the beginning of time, there are those in the U.S. who claim they are being caused by global warming. Makes you want to be a Democrat, doesn’t it?
Q. When you lose weight, where does it go? (Mona ~ Apache Junction, AZ)
A. Nobody likes a smart ass.
Q. Will Ghadafi stay in power? (Chet ~ Yonkers, NY)
A. He’s already said that he will not leave power alive. Therefore, he has no reason not to come down on the populace with every weapon in his possession. The people mostly don’t have guns and ammunition; what weapons they do have, they managed to steal from the army. Without international sanction, we have no legal right to intervene. It’s an ugly situation, and the rebels seem to be on the short end of the stick.
