Reading that news story made my brain hurt...And then it made me realize that our world really is going to shit.

And even if they had predicted it, there is no way in telling of the goverment would have cared for the warning. We have all been warned for the second "big one" in San Francisco....but noone cares.
Welcome to the modern "mob rules" democratic and judicial process we have delved into in the past several years.
I saw this yesterday in the news. It has got to be one of the most insane things I have ever read. People have become obsessed with finding a scapegoat for every disaster. Now it's reached the point where scientists are expected to foresee coming earthquakes. There should be about as much outcry over this as for the woman the Iranians want to stone for committing adultery.
Its the European legal process which is probably why the US has the best legal process in the world.
Dead if you do, dead if you don't. It's almost as bad as divorce court (if you're male). At least this one just happened once.
It really makes you wonder why the court EVER decided that. I mean, what in the world were they thinking!?!
