Dumbasses -
The above posts, after the Indonesian tsunami, were so absurd that
they stuck in my memory. Kunich is an expert on vulcanology and
seismology. heh heh. One of the numerous branches of science about
which he is oh-so-knowledgable. A true polymath. Remember, none of the
subduction zones are close to the USA.

Tsunami-Generating Earthquake Near U.S. Possibly Imminent
By Robin Lloyd
Special to LiveScience
posted: 03 January 2005
07:21 pm ET
There are only two places in the United States where colliding
tectonic plates could cause a major tsunami, and new studies show a
new earthquake in at least one of these locations could be imminent.
The Cascadia subduction zone, a 680-mile fault that runs 50 miles off
the coast of the Pacific Northwest -- from Cape Mendocino in
California to Vancouver Island in southern British Columbia -- has
experienced a cluster of four massive earthquakes during the past
1,600 years. Scientists are trying to figure out if it is about to
undergo a massive shift one more time before entering a quiescent
period.
"People need to know it could happen," said U.S. Geological Survey
geologist Brian Atwater.
The historical record for this zone, which has the longest recorded
data about its earthquakes of any major fault in the world, shows that
earthquakes occur in clusters of up to five events, with an average
time interval of 300 years between quakes, said Chris Goldfinger, a
ine geologist at Oregon State University. Goldfinger and other
scientists have been studying this subduction zone for many years.
The two most recent quakes on this fault occurred in the year 1700 (a
magnitude 9 event) and approximately the year 1500. It has now been
305 years since the last event. So is the Cascadia subduction zone
finished for now or on the brink of event number five?
"We know quite a bit about the periodicity of this fault zone and what
to expect," he said. "But the key point we don't know is whether the
current cluster of earthquake activity is over yet, or does it have
another event left in it."
At the Cascadia subduction zone, an oceanic tectonic plate called the
Juan de Fuca is pulled and driven (subducted) beneath the continental
North American plate, setting up conditions for undersea "megathrust"
earthquakes.
The Cascadia subduction zone occurs where the relatively thin Juan de
Fuca plate moves eastward and under the westward-moving North American
Plate. When that collision results in a rupture, massive earthquakes
occur. The other active subduction zone capable of producing a major
earthquake-tsunami sequence is in Alaska, the site of a giant
earthquake and subsequent tsunami in 1964.
Scientists say a rupture along the Cascadia fault would cause the sea
floor to bounce 20 feet or more, setting off powerful ocean waves
relatively close to shore. The first waves could hit coastal
communities in 30 minutes or less -- too rapidly for the current
warning systems to save lives.

Bravo, Tom Kunich. Nutshell. Austin is going to have a MHL for
cyclists again. The fix is in (including a phony, self-serving "study"

Well, for one thing, it's rare to see someone without a helmet amongst
"roadie" riders. But your point is valid.

The implication and counter to this is that you believe there is a way
to vote well. "Kveck v. Kunich" does not cancel.

Democracy is a fool's game. The most basic problem is neither
"rational ignorance" nor "irrationality." The problem is that
sufficient number of voters will *never* have the resources available
to make a truly informed vote.

Subject: States Using New Powers?
Dear Jerry,
Do you really believe that any of the states would use additional
powers any more intelligently or kindly than the Feds? When they passed
seat belt laws and motorcycle helmet laws that was proof positive that
fascism was the rule and not the exception.
Tom Kunich
The point of Federalism and leaving such matters to the States is that
some will go one way, some another. Some will have enormous inheritance
taxes, some will have none. Some may even try self government if freed
from Federal interference and "incentives". The more local such laws
are, the better. This was the original scheme of the Framers, who were
quite aware that government and bureaucracy tends to creep and grow and
take over more and more of people's lives. The working of Pournelle's
Iron Law of Bureaucracy sees to that.
The point of localism is that there will be pockets of freedom, and
those tend to show by example that there are alternatives to the Nanny
State and bureaucratic control of people's lives.
Incidentally, anyone who equates seat belts and motorcycle helmets and
the other nuisances of the Nanny State with Fascism doesn't know much
about Fascism; alas, much of our intellectual class, knowing no history
that didn't come from the History Channel (if that much), seems to
believe this sort of thing. Actually don't believe it: I doubt that Mr.
Kunich actually equates requiring child seats in cars with concentration
camps and "Everything for the State; nothing against the State" and
other such Fascist ideals; but they act as if they believe it."

You know Stu, since you live in a nanny-state you probably have missed the
fact that nanny-state laws are fomented strictly to train their citizens
that the State Knows Best. If the perception of its citizens was that
motorcycle helmets or seatbelts were a safer way to go, the government
wouldn't need laws that allow the police to arrest you.
The difference between a fascist government and a government based on human
rights is that one tells you what to do and the other tries to convince you.
Now explain mandatory helmets laws for cyclists in New Zealand - was did it
cost the citizens and what did it save them?
The problem with people not recognizing fascism is that it was defined in
the mold of Nazism or the Italian Fascism which spread over a few other
countries and was founded on strong military patriotism and persecution of
a religous or racial minority.
The purpetrators of today's fascism know better than to do that. But that
doesn't mean that their goals aren't the same - the control of the masses
through fear of minorities. The approval of the masses for perceived
punishments of these minorities by force of law. The NECESSITY for "leaders"
to lead these masses. And the acts of these "leaders" to exploit the
groundless fears of the masses for such control.
There is absolutely no need for motorcycle helmet laws since these helmets
make no statistical difference in the numbers of fatalities. But since the
masses perceive motorcyclists as anti-social they find a special joy in
demanding obeisance from these minorities. And slowly more and more minority
groups are generated - those who do not wear seat belts. Those who do not
wear bicycle helmets. Tell me - why is it that it is almost impossible to go
for a ride without a bicycle helmet without even other riders commenting on
it?
The really sad thing is that people do not recognize one of the prime
driving mechanisms behind fascism - Organized Propaganda.
The creation of social mythology that venerates (creates saints of) one
element of society while concurrently vilifying (dehumanizing) another
element of the population through misinformation, misdirection and the
obscuring of factual matter through removal, destruction or social
humiliation, (name-calling, false accusations, belittling and threats). And
the squelching of public debate not agreeing with the popular agenda via
slander, libel, threats, theft, destruction, historical revisionism and
social humiliation. Journalists in particular are terrorized if they
attempt to publish stories contrary to the agenda.
Consider the "threat" of global warming, the attack against the response to
terrorism and the almost continuous cry that we are going to all die from a
lack of energy.

You're correct on all of that. However, I'd say that your idea of who

Goddamm, you're stupid -
I've posted 3 things:
1) a post where Kunich claims to be an expert in seismology
2) a post where Kunich claims that a tsunami is impossible in the
lower 48 States of our country
3) references to sites by the US and Canadian governments about the
Cascadia Subduction Zone
If you read those sites, you'd know that a subduction zone is a type
of fault that causes tsunamis if the fault is in an oceanic region of
the earth.
Here's another one by the US Geologic Survey. I believe the USGS
before I believe Kunich. The point of all this was to illustrate that
everytime Kunich claims to be an expert on something, it probably
means he doesn't know what he's talking about.
BTW, I don't claim to be an expert on seismology. I do, however,
believe expert references like people employed by the USGS.
From:
http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/tsunami/cascadia.html
The Pacific Northwest is the site of the Cascadia subduction zone,
where an oceanic tectonic plate (the Juan de Fuca plate) is being
pulled and driven (i.e., subducted) beneath a continental plate (the
North American plate). Earthquakes along the fault that is the contact
between the two plates, termed the interplate thrust or megathrust,
may generate significant local tsunamis in the Pacific Northwest.
Except for the M=7.2 1992 Cape Mendocino earthquake at the
southernmost part of the subduction zone, there have been no major
earthquakes on the megathrust in historic time. Does this mean that
the two plates are sliding past each other freely without generating
earthquakes? This would make the Cascadia subduction zone unlike most
other subduction zones around the world. Rather, geologic evidence is
accumulating that the Cascadia subduction zone is poised between major
earthquakes. Therefore, the possibility exists that local tsunamis may
someday accompany a major earthquake along the Cascadia megathrust.

I switched to HP because of the keyboard and battery life issues. I
kept the HP for years until someone happened to tell me that you could
sell them for $150 on eBay and that's what I did. Now I emulate an HP
with a PalmOS program called RPN.
Come to think of it, Stevie has a switch-bounce problem too........

Ours did too to some extent. Some time probably between
5 and 10 years after we bought it, TI wrote to us and said
the keypads had this problem and if we sent it back
they would ship a replacement - even though it was long

It isn't a real programmable calculator, but I got one of these Rockwell RD64s back

Tell you what, since you're so sure of this how about betting me $1,000 at
10:1 odds that a tsunami generating earthquake occurs off of the Oregon
coast in a manner that sends the tsunami TOWARDS the Oregon coast?
I mean, you are sure of this aren't you? Else why shoot your skinny ass

Don't know Tom. I seem to remember having a lot to say since my wife
was working through the military "Fit for Duty" eval process, and lots
of rehab, before being discharged in 2001. That included evals both in
Europe, and a trip back to Walter Reed for an eval and board hearing.
Then there was the VA stuff afterward. Eventually she was declared
40% disabled. The process sucked then, before then when the guys from
Somalia and Rhwanda were going through it, and now.
I have been for years, and still am, helping out my Uncle who's a
Korea DAV get things done through the VA system.That means at least
monthly visits to the local VA hospital where my next door neighbor,
who's Daughter I grew up with, retired from their personnel office a
few years ago, and lots of trips down to West Haven, Ct. which is
about 90 miles from here to deal with some specific problems for which
they are the regional provider. Been going down there about once a
month, or at least every few months for several years.
I had opinions way back when. I have opinions now. I'm much more
comfortable with the validity of my current opinions just because I'm
dealing with the VA constantly now, and it's been over an extended
period of time.
It's really pretty amazing how I just might have kept up on the
military stuff really closely with so much in the family. There are
more retirees, active duty, and prior service too, along with lots of
friends, and very possibly a couple of kids going in, in some form or
fashion.
Everyone makes mistakes and screwups, but overall Clinton really made
very few major changes and basically continued policy set under Bush
Sr.
He didn't like the military, neither did Hillary, and Gore hates
them, but they were st enough to realize they needed them, and that
they didn't have the expertise needed to seriously alter them so they
got advisors who had credentials to do it for them.
I also didn't like the advisors and a bunch of shit they changed, but
none of it was fundamental to function.
Overall they did an OK, mostly hands off job. That's not what I was
saying at the time, but given time to see the big picture, cool off,
and re-evaluate rationally he didn't do anything structurally really
bad, or good.
I don't care if politcal ideologues like you can't handle that, but
that seems to be the concensus most people came to eventually.
Carter on the other hand was a complete and total fucking disaster to
the military and the intel community, but I'm convinced that the
damage this administration is doing, and has done is going to be
massively worse in the long term in particular.
It's no excuse, and it's gutless on their part, but I can see why the
Republicans haven't killed him on all this stuff, and I'm amazed that
the Democrats haven't, but they have led the demonization of the
military for 40 years now and shit all over them so it's a tough sell
to claim they care now.
The last prominent national democrat who really was strong on the
military, and supported them was JFK, since then it's been a dismal
record at best. Hard to turn that around in a few years and get the
people you abused so badly to believe it.
To steal a phrase "I'm not altogether on anyones side, becausae noone
is altogether on my side."
This whole crop of current candidates is disappointing at best. I had
high hopes for Obama, but the more I here from him and see of his
record ,the more I question. He still has the highest potential to do
good, and great things though, IMO.
I'm negative as hell when I evaluate things, and tell everyone that,
and really enjoy being wrong, because that means things went better
than I expected.
Bush and Co. have exceeded even my worst case scenarios and
expectations by a huge gin though. Bill Clinton, on re-eval, as a
politician, was a pleasant surprise.
Hillary scares the hell out of me. She's as power mad as Al Haig was,
ster than Rove and Cheney, and is totally amoral when it comes to
getting what she wants, and I DONT want what she does.
I'm admitting to another spot where I was wrong too.
Way back when here, It was either talking to Howard, or Lafferty,
when I was supporting the war based on the intel and the humanitarian
situation. They were saying "He's lying his ass off to get what he
wants." I said that I didn't hink he could possibly have skewed that
much without it being totally out in public and would have to go with
the the majority in supporting action against Iraq. I also expressed
that I thought it would be done right, and with overwhelming force,
then turned over to the UN. They said I was buying a shitload of lies,
and he was lieing to create the war. I disagreed, defended Bush and
Powell, but said that if they turned out to be right I'd help them
hang the bastard.
Bush and Co. fucked Powell over big time. Howard or Brian was right.
I'm admitting it, and doing my best to live up to my end of the
gentleman's agreement.
I imagine your gonna have a field day with this but "Oh, well!".
I can't believe I'm replying at all, let alone in depth. I keep
seeing the "arguing on the internet" picture while I'm doing it, since
with you it's NOT discussion which is too bad because I've seen
shitloads of stuff to support some of your arguments with other people
out there recently and would add them in for someone who wasn't such
an asshole to everyone.
Yes, I do currently have WAY too much time on my hands, and my most
recent used book order hasn't come in.
Have a great day!

Once again, totally wrong. I have no idea how many times I've
admitted being wrong here, learned new things and re-evaluated my
positions, but it's a lot since there are a lot of very well informed
people here that bring new information to the discussion.

I learned to program on my fathers programmable HP calculator (I forget

porting him given my early introduction to FORTH-like RPN.
I wonder if Kunich could be programmed to land a lunar module; perhaps we

Idiot -
If you were only Fat it would be OK. But the fact that you are also
stupid, makes you nearly insufferable.
Here's what the US Geolocial Survey says about it.
From:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/states/events/1700_01_26.php
Cascadia Subduction Zone
1700 01 26
Magnitude ~9
This earthquake, the largest known to have occurred in the "lower 48"
United States, rocked Cascadia, a region 600 miles long that includes
northern California, Oregon, Washington, and southern British
Columbia. The earthquake set off a tsunami that not only struck
Cascadia's Pacific coast, but also crossed the Pacific Ocean to Japan,
where it damaged coastal villages. Written records of the damage in
Japan pinpoint the earthquake to the evening of January 26, 1700.
<snip ><end>
and the Canadian government:
From:
http://earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/historic_eq/15-19th/1700/1700_e.php
The M9 Cascadia Megathrust Earthquake of January 26, 1700
At 9PM on January 26, 1700 one of the world's largest earthquakes
occurred along the west coast of North America. The undersea Cascadia
thrust fault ruptured along a 1000 km length, from mid Vancouver
Island to northern California in a great earthquake, producing
tremendous shaking and a huge tsunami that swept across the Pacific.
The Cascadia fault is the boundary between two of the Earth's tectonic
plates: the smaller offshore Juan de Fuca plate that is sliding under
the much larger North American plate.
The earthquake shaking collapsed houses of the Cowichan people on
Vancouver Island and caused numerous landslides. The shaking was so
violent that people could not stand and so prolonged that it made them
sick. On the west coast of Vancouver Island, the tsunami completely
destroyed the winter village of the Pachena Bay people with no
survivors. These events are recorded in the oral traditions of the
First Nations people on Vancouver Island. The tsunami swept across the
Pacific also causing destruction along the Pacific coast of Japan. It
is the accurate descriptions of the tsunami and the accurate time
keeping by the Japanese that allows us to confidently know the size
and exact time of this great earthquake.
The earthquake also left unmistakeable signatures in the geological
record as the outer coastal regions subsided and drowned coastal
shlands and forests that were subsequently covered with younger
sediments. The recognition of definitive signatures in the geological
record tells us the January 26, 1700 event was not a unique event, but
has repeated many times at irregular intervals of hundreds of years.
Geological evidence indicates that 13 great earthquakes have occurred
in the last 6000 years.
We now know that a similar offshore event will happen sometime in the
future and that it represents a considerable hazard to those who live
in southwest B.C. However, because the fault is offshore, it is not
the greatest earthquake hazard faced by major west coast cities. In
the interval between great earthquakes, the tectonic plates become
stuck together, yet continue to move towards each other. This causes
tremendous strain and deformation of the Earth's crust in the coastal
region and causes ongoing earthquake activity. This is the situation
that we are in now. Some onshore earthquakes can be quite large (there
have been four magnitude 7+ earthquakes in the past 130 years in
southwest B.C. and northern Washington State). Because these inland
earthquakes can be much closer to our urban areas and occur more
frequently, they represent the greatest earthquake hazard. An inland
magnitude 6.9 earthquake in 1995 in a similar geological setting
beneath Kobe, Japan caused in excess of $200 billion damage.

Damn! If it was anything more than a damn THEORY then YOU WOULD NOT BE

We can look at almost any mad-made or natural disaster in the last 300 years
and say "Someone, somewhere predicted that!!"
There are 10 times more predictions that never come to pass........

There is nothing safe about a magnitude 9.0 quake.
Here's what the US Geological Survey says about it - the geological
evidence indicates both a 9.0 event and a tsunami.

Idiot -
Read the article. The quakes have a 300 year average interval in the
Cascadia Subduction Zone. The last one was in 1700, but the reason
there isn't a written history (only a geological one) is that the non-
native Americans hadn't settled there yet.

Here's a clue for you - you're the horses asses who seem to believe that
your ideas are infallible. When confronted with a different opinion you
can't handle it.
Sort of like your crying about the Walter Reed Hospital when the VA Hospital
system was taken apart and all of the retired guys were handed something
similar to Medicaid in the Clinton administration. Wow am I surprised you
missed that.

Look at the f'ing history of events assbag!
There is always "maybe, could have, might happen" in the future........
Where have most of these events happened in the last hundred years. NOT in
the US. This prediction is like saying a Frenchman will win the TDF,
sometime in the future. So if it happens in the next hundred years it was
correct? Ultimate candyassing there.
We have had many earthquakes in our area, yes! How many have caused a
Tsunami??
No. I am not talking about Alaska either...

I realize that you're really attempting to look st but you aren't built
for it. If you were bright enough to understand how subduction zones
generate earthquakes you'd understand that the continental plate is on the
"safe" side.
As for "global warming":
http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/02/numerical_models_integrated_ci.html
"In this competitive environment, one can imagine climate modelers
justifying their work by citing the possibility of global change, the
further study of which requires, of course, "more research". One can
further imagine that in the inchoate communication between university
researcher, funding agency, congressional staffer and congressmen that
"possibility" eventually became "probability" and then "probability" morphed
into "certainty" of global warming, especially if there was potential for
political advantage.
This has resulted in an inadvertent funding-feedback mechanism that now
resonates in largely unjustified alarm and also seeks to quash scientific
dissidents who indirectly threaten to throttle the funding spigots."

That's right folks, on the same website you can read about the "shocking"
"tragedy" of the Libby verdict, and about the many benefits of global
warming, including making you sexier: "Just a small rise in worldwide
temperature could dramatically raise the world's level of happiness and even
sexual desire."

Here's a quote from Tom's expert:
"I am not a climatologist or meteorologist"
It's always a good idea to rely on people who specifically state they know
nothing about the processes they are talking about for expert advice on
that subject, especially if you don't really want to know anything about
it.

All you did was identify some obviously liberal scientists with
agendas. Besides, most tsunamis in the Pacific are caused by the
effects of stingrays flapping in Florida. Or manatees. One of the two.

Dumbass,
It is obvious that Robin Lloyd has been brainwashed by actually studying
plate tectonics. He should pay rbr a visit so he can debate Kunich and
learn everything that got beamed into his head by time traveling aliens.

And he travels in time by locking an unsuspecting victim in an
infinitely repeating time loop, changed only by differing occupations.
The victim accumulates story after story, but evidently can't
accumulate wisdom or change from his initial confused mental state.
Why Bob gave him Internet access is beyond me. Pity is often
overrated.

But if he's an alien why does he use a prolix name like Bob Schwartz,
surely Ford Prefect or Jeep Cherokee or Scooter Libby would be more
appropriate.

I'm not sure why you have such problems believing that TK is an expert
on vulcanology. Here's a picture of him at his graduation - obviously
a while ago, he had a lot more hair then.
