<<<I wonder if just one TV in a village wouldn't be cheaper than some other kind of warning system....>> Wonder why no seer, mystic, or prophet has come forward to claim a prediction of this tsunami event.? Give some people condoms to prevent aids and they use them for party balloons. Give them dust masks to prevent flu transmission and they use them to filter tea. Give then a TV and they sit around watching Clint Eastwood or baywatch instead of working in the banana and rubber plantations.Changes the whole society. The best way to prevent another tsunami in the region is to drill a hole down 6 miles to the existing fault line and set off some megaton hydrogen bombs to relieve the remaining stresses. This would be locally beneficial, but would transfer added stresses to areas in outlying regions of the fault line and increase the chances of an earthquake there,such as in Russia. In summary it is probably best not the mess too much with mother nature No problem with sending them some TV sets tho. Sig
