Expert Warns Of Giant Tidal Wave

Kieckerjan writes "Forget about asteroids and start worrying about the unassuming Cumbre Vieja volcano. According to prof. Bill McGuire of the Benfield Grieg Hazard Research Centre, if this mountain erupts, it could cause a tidal wave that would wipe out America's east coast. Google news has the same story over and over again. (This makes you wonder: how much would it take to trigger an eruption for one bent on destruction?)"

There are innocents? Why aren't they doing enough to stop that terror organization known as the New York Stock Exchange? Is nobody else terrified of the immense power of large scale bankers? How about huge worldwide conglomerates that destroy people's lives?

The truly innocent people are the ones who live far, far, away from such dens of inequity (or should that be, dens of inequality?) and yet are destryed by companies like Haliburton, Enron, Worldcom, and agribusinesses just for the fun of that wierd thing called profit.
