It's sobering to imagine death on this scale from a natural disaster. The figure will only rise, apparently there are untold numbers trapped across the area.

why do humans build, because it isn''t there

felt throughout most of china... wow that is some power there, nothing short of amazing.   I'm in awe.

There's no such thing as a good government manager. Anyone who's halfway decent gets hired by the private sector.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

I heard about this earlier today, when the toll was 5000.  Now 9000?  Terrible.

"If you warn me about global warming once more, you''ll get a swift carbon footprint in the ass!"

Unfortunately, I'm afraind the death toll is going to go much higher.  There are still thousands missing and there's that  collapsed school that has about 900 students trapped underneath all that rubble.

I have to wonder how their government is going to respond.

There's nothing 'natural' about the Clintons.

On a serious note, yeah I heard about that school. I'd imagine all kinds of countries are offering assistance, and I hope China isn't too stubborn to take it.

9000 for such a huge scale disaster isn't much considering the population of that country.  Birma death toll is over 32k right now.

 I don't care about the population of China. Over twelve thousand people are dead man. This isn't a time to think about population. I give my heart and tears out to those people that have to live though that situation. Such a natural disaster could have happend anywhere.

The planet goes through cycles, geological cycles, heating and cooling cycles, etc.  To think that human beings are the sole cause or can even correct it is ignorance on a universal scale as the universe is a very chaotic place.

As far tas this tragedy it is horrible but the Chinese government does not give 2 pence for their peoples lives.  This could have killed one million and they wouldn't have cared.  They refuse to let foreign aid workers in the area until the deem it safe.  Safe so they can clean up any messes that they themselves probably created.  It is a tragedy but not one the Chinese govt will even care about.  All you Liberals who think our govt is oppresive or hateful go over to China and protest.
