My goodness how much more can these poor people take. We should be uniting as a country and lobbying the government to stop all other spending and focus funds and energies on rebuilding their community somewhere else – urgently. Do more lives have to be lost before this is achieved?

lol.. how much more poor people can take? Japan=15,457 deaths, 5,389 injured,[ and 7,676 people missing, Chch=300? Number of Chch eq=2. Hawkes bay and this minor thing Number of Japanese,Pakistan,Indonesia EQ in total history=30+Counting with at least 5000 dead each time. You poeple have no idea what disaster is. On the scale of 1 to 20 you are sitting somewhere are 2.5 on having an idea what a horrible disaster is.
