That a bunch of pilgrims bathing in the sea were killed kind of shows up ALL the religious/God stuff for what it is.
Anyway.....It's a truly terrible event and the scale is quite frankly tragedy off the scale.
But it's Mother Earth. It does what it does.
It was throwing up all kinds of things that we call 'natural disasters' millions of years before we were around to be affected by them.
People live on coastal areas, on tiny islands 3 foot above sea level and so on....
And as such things like this will happen because it's what the Earth does. It always has and it always will.
And in the end one of the things it does will hurt us.
It's how this World works. It's a massive tragedy, but it's the price we pay the living on Earth in general and for living in certain areas of it.
Don't forget you Americans...one day the San Francisco earthquake to end all earthquakes will happen.
We know, we live with such things, we make the choice.
It's what happens when Man lives in all areas of the World.
There's no one to be angry at (unless you beleive in a God....you can be angry at one of them) it's just they way our Planet is.
