Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

I found this article disturbing. It brings 'finding someone to blame' to a whole new level. And what if the trial is successful in bringing these scientists 'to justice?' Every scientist in charge of having an opinion will slant things to represent the worst possibilities, and doom shall be cautioned about with such regularity that it will become meaningless.

--Anthony

Depends if it was a frack-quake, or other manmade quake like a nuke-quake. Doesn't look like it, though.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

Nope, Italy and the Alps are a major tectonic zone, which is why there are volcanoes and stuff there. Like Mount Vesuvius, and the event that sunk Atlantis.

Such hilarity necessitates a response in the form of a sprite comic.
