<That judgement seems awfully harsh, racist* and historically inaccurate*> Oh, cool, the r-word again. Ray, you ipso facto win the argument with ElM having used the word first. Well done. I think each post on BBR [aka The Great Financial Collapse of 2001 - giggle, aka "The Second Coming"] should include at least one use of the r-word. Mqurice

Th[e] judgement [that Indonesians need only blame themselves] seems...racist[.] How is the assertion that the Indonesians have only themselves to blame - which I agree with, 100% - a "racist" comment? Besides which, blaming any people for the earthquake/tsunami strikes me as...religious poppycock[.] It does me as well, and I'm sure that wasn't what the poster was suggesting. Instead, I'd assert that the lack of an early warning systems was their fault and their fault alone. It's a tragic, painful way to learn the lesson, but that's how it goes. How perfectly silly.
