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\"

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.
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?

Prescient in the "knows stuff about plate tectonics and made a reasoned prediction" sense, or in the "divine oracle" sense?

OK, prepare to be amazed then: I predict people will starve in Ethiopia and the gulf coast of the U.S. will suffer a major hurricane and for my grande finale....drum roll.....everyone alive today on planet earth will die starting immediately!

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.
