Just been watching footage of the Pakistan earthquake:sad: .....and it showed the Indian & Pakistani military working together:really: ...to find survivors, along with aid workers from various countries......and a thought came into my head...
It made me wonder if nature in its ancient wisdom, senses the destruction that man is creating, and the hostile climate that prevails between countries, and is trying to balance things out. In the space of a year, we have had a major tsunami, which caused great suffering & destruction. We have had two hurricanes back to back, causing the same, and now a major earthquake. In all these cases, everyone automatically wants to help. Differences are forgotten, in the fight to save lives and help survivors........Maybe it's final act will be to unleash the power of the yellowstone super volcano......
Of course, if you are a religiously minded person, you might think that (your) God has done this..........Sorry to get all heavy, but it seems strange that all these natural disasters have happened in such a short space of time......

A bit like Gaia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia) theory...

Interesting notion... Shame it has to involve such a massive loss of life...

The next big one coming could be Asian Bird Flu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avian_influenza), which the UN reckon could kill between 5 to 150 million people any time now...

I was just going to say this, although my knowledge of Gaia is based on having watched "Edge of Darkness".

Spooky - I thought that as well: Man causes global warming and trys to both tame and harness nature; living on it's back and feeding on it's blood. Now nature turns arround and says "boo!".

I'd say without a doubt!
