In the Haiti earthquake, estimates of the number of dead range from 30,000 to as many as 100,000. The population of Port-au-Prince was around 700,000. Even the palace collapsed and the president was homeless. As there were no effective building codes, it is unlikely that many buildings could have stood through such a strong earthquake. A handy round up of videos can be found at Jezebel.

For those who believe in a benevolent god, I ask you: What good will come of destroying the heavily populated capital of one of the world's poorest country, whose people have been massacred, enslaved, and oppressed for centuries? What good will come of killing so many people who have been living in such dismal condition (per capita GDP: US$790, or US$2 per day) involuntarily or by choice? Where is justice?

I guess you can see the theme of the week. Moving on to more lighthearted topics...
