Never mind.
Let's get back to the subject.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)Comment

and the Pantheon...“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Unconcerned.

You don't think geology and building codes have anything to do with an earthquake? Your main problem is you do not think before you post. Thus the constant diarrhea of the mouth you always have.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

I never said that. I'm just no longer concerned with anything that you post. It's not relevant to me personally and has no bearing on the reality.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

The number of dead continues to rise. Close to 270 now. If the death toll tops 300 it will be the deadliest earthquake in modern Italian history.
Let's stay classy people.Keep on Civin'

An Italian firefighter has written a heart-wrenching letter to a little girl who died in the earthquake.
Giulia Rinaldo, 10, was found lying on top of her little sister Giorgia when rescuers arrived.
Giorgia was pulled out alive, despite being under the rubble in Pescara del Tronto for 16 hours. Her sister Giulia, however, didn’t survive.
The note, which had been left on her small white coffin, was signed only from ‘Andrea’.
The letter was signed with a heart
It read:
Hello, little darling.
I only managed to lend a hand to pull you out of the prison of rubble. Forgive us if we arrived too late.
However, you had stopped breathing by then, but I’d like you to know that we did all we could to pull you out.
When I return to my house in l’Aquila, I will know that there is an angel watching me from the sky.
You will be a shining star in the night.
Bye Giulia, I love you even though you never got to know me.
He then signed off the letter with a small hand-drawn heart.
Giulia’s coffin was laid out at a state funeral service in the regional capital, Ascoli Piceno, on Saturday along with 34 others.
At the service, Bishop Giovanni d’Ercole mentioned the sisters.
‘Life and death came face to face,’ he said, ‘and for Giorgia, life won.’
No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment
