    wish them all well.

    I grew up in So Cal and earthquakes were normal but we didnt have the old construction often still found in the older neighborhoods.

    7.2 is not huge but still when people perish, it aint good.

    Let's end all wars and dispatch every military to these natural war zones, to help the dislocated.

    Most of the buildings that collapsed were modern designs built to a very low standard. Why you would ever allow such buildings to go up in an earthquake-prone zone is beyond me - the people who moved in were effectively killing themselves.
