Actually Cherie it's the scientists that are the fools, they said no chance of a major quake and yet they had one. Same crap we get from the scientists here. Prime example on campbell live last night. The so called expert was defending the scientists in italy, saying that earthquakes can't be predicted yet in the next clip about the quakes in Rolleston, he states that people shouldn't worry as he didn't believe they will lead to another big one. Now isn't that giving us a prediction. That is exactly what happened in Italy yet a big one happened. I think the best thing the scientists can do is keep their mouths shut. They cannot make any presumption on quakes as they are so unpredictable.
