Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia are all sending buses down to pick up people. The mayor of B-more, Martin O'Malley basically said if we can't bring aid to the people they'll go down pick them up and bring the people to the aid.

<< the way things are going for these unfortunate souls, they'd probably get there and get hit by a huge earthquake >> How right you are! My husband says this very subject comes up almost immediately right now when he tells people where he lives and they shake their heads.. I am sure that when the big one hits I (we) will be screaming for aid and have a huge dose of critisism for the disaster relief provided, should I be alive. The rest of the world will have little sympathy and marvel at the stupidity of the huge mass of people living here knowing that the big one will hit, just like we knew NO could be devastated any time. Halt - actually people there had an opportunity to evacuate so most of them have more brains then we do! So, as I examine my stupidity I realize that I am firmly planted in this society of "risk takers" (...as Allen Greenspan would put it).:).
