Dear Tipsters, Words fail me. Perhaps the only redeeming thing I can say is that he might serve as a case of distorted thinking. It is all very sad.

Re: [tips] Haiti & pat robertson
I did not have time to read the article but I take the most basic scientific approach.Earthquakes do not kill people but falling objects do.There are some similarities between the Haitian situation and some Californians: they both build homes in vulnerable areas and they both have been warned that the "big" one was coming.
