If you have been residing or travelling Mars in the last few days or month you must have not heard of the earthqake that shook the southern Island of NZ. There over 100 reported confirmed deaths and it is expected that it would end up being much more than that.
I have been reading about the sad, sad, incident in many small-scale websites which were opened for comments and I was absolutley shocked that many religious fanatics claim that it's god wrath hitting upon those who were unloyal - a punishment for blashpemy, so to speak.
I have very little respect to preachers and even less to those who abuse such unfortunae situation to spread hate. I thought that these people wield harmony, carrying messiah's message of being more humane towards one another - but this people prove again that they are doing it for a sole purpose - getting more suckers to join the circle, that could preach to others and abuse their misfurtune.

The richest nations poverty rate
This great article speaks about the measurements the USA, the world's richest country, used to define poverty. No one seems to find the logical flaw in that statement. The world's richest country in the year of 2011 should be MEASURED by the amount of poverty in it, and not the other way around!
A country that is still in process of regulating a proper health insurance program for its citizens, raises some questions in regards to its advancement.
About the article itself - 70 years ago the world people would've said that in nowadays world poverty exists only in Africa, and not even that since most of the world, including the western world has experienced hunger in some form. Poverty in such form does not exists in the USA, according to my knowledge, but I think the bar should be set at what the average US citizen can afford himself - debts, properties and income should determine poverty and it should be handled in a way it would cease to exist within 5 years, because such things are within the power of the "world's richest nation".
