Thank god those that stumble onto the soapbox of celebrity have the wisdom and courage to speak up and fight for the agenda!
Danny Glover...because even Algore needs a toady

Heh yeah that's like saying I should be punished for the death of all indians and slavery too. He might as well have said \"God did it\". The irony is this. I hear people all the time blaming God for natural disasters and here a professing christian feeds it =/. I guess it has nothing to do with the fact that the earth is made of plates and they sometimes move.

Unfortunately, a lot of people still listen to and believe in what Robertson says.woodchip wrote:Well Danny is in good company and should tag team up with the religious moron called Pat Robertson who says, "that Haiti suffered from a devastating earthquake because of its "pact with the devil"
EDIT: One of my old professors at OSU actually said in Jan. 6 interview with Scientific American magazine that a large quake would probably occur near or around Haiti and it would be a catastrophic disaster. Prescient or unlucky prediction?

It's just weird that he mentioned Haiti specifically just days before it happened, that's all.
We live in a subduction zone in Oregon and are overdue ourselves for a great quake, an 8 or 9 by most estimates, not a pipsqueak 7.0 in comparison either. Not something I want to go through here, but we're living on borrowed time. I've been through a bunch of 5.0 quakes and smaller when we lived in Sunnyvale, California, but nothing to freak out about frankly. But we moved out 6 weeks before the Loma Prieta quake hit the area. Lucky miss I guess.
