Just wait until there is video of one of these union thugs slapping some old Senior at one of these townhalls. When that hits youtube Obama will lose 5% easy. The left is un-glued. |

"Greece alone translated five times more books every year from English to Greek than the entire Arab world translated from English to Arabic; the G.D.P. of Spain was greater than that of all 22 Arab states combined; 65 million Arab adults were illiterate."
Quoted from one of T.L. Friedman's articles at the NYT.

Hit 4度/3度 - with the epicentre being Chiba iirc from the TV reports. Most of Tokyo felt that one and sure enough when the foundations of a house are creaking and the Earth's beginning to rumble, you know it's pretty bad *shudders* As for 7.1, prob on the Ricter scale, maybe? (or over hyped) I can only sense them by Japanese shindo scales, so not sure how it converts to the Western scale now. *reads the report* Hmm.... Sounds like BS to me somewhat to compare it to Kobe. I've felt stronger than last night and by no means is it what went down in Kobe, cause it takes a 6度 and above to make roads split and bridges collapse... But to stop trains running, yeah. The last thing we'd need is for one to turn over while running x.x;;; Eitherway not the worst of the bunch and not the best, just another day in Japan eh?

So there's been no signs of any casualties or damage since the quake?
Earthquakes sure are scary. Surprisingly, we've felt some here in the UK in recent years. Those shook up my house good, and they're obviously just weak ones. I can't image what it's like to live in an actual earthquake prone area... but then again you probably grow used to them if you've lived there all your life? Hopefully Tokyo will be well prepared for this speculated upcoming major quake.

To be honest, one worry of returning troops back from Iraq and Afghanistan is where they would be. Regular troops return to base, but reserve units usually have jobs. Right now, I suspect those are being taken up by replacement workers or not being replaced at all, but as they return home, what happens then? We do need the economy back and people being hired and working. Otherwise, unemployment numbers and costs may go up as well. And if people have family serving out there, they likely want them back sooner rather than later, so keeping them, unwillingly, in the ranks is not a good idea, IMHO. Quote:
What I'm worried about is that this, if failed, will cause him to either fail his plans or reverse changes outright. As Obama becomes less popular, the less likely he will be able to get things done - without a lot of negotiation and compromises if not outright obstruction. Polls' results look to be focusing more on the economy and jobs ATM; healthcare, given that he has at least 3 more years (unless his government topples outright), doesn't need to be on his plate immediately, IMHO.
