This post occurred here, in this group, Dec.24th. That's when I first
learned of the quake, and potential disaster. A previous poster
mentioned he had gotten wind of it on his shortwave. Today is the 27th.
People I've spoken with today hadn't heard of this event yet. Simply
because their primary delivery system of information is television. They
are not educating the people, as is their obligation. That's my only
contention. Darren

It's all over TV. Perhaps the people you speak of lack simple comprehension
skills?

Maybe they need to turn off the sports channel?
