I was just starting to think that the geothermal, earthquake-ridden bit of life in New Zealand was being grossly overstated. After all, I have been here for 3 1/2 years which is ages on a geological scale...
The 7.4 richter earthquake that has shaken up all and knocked down good parts of Christchurch is obviously a disaster. It is also a real good and overdue reminder to all of us living here that these dinky islands at the bottom of the world may well be far removed from nuclear warheads, suicide bombers and overpopulation, but they are completely under the control of much greater forces deep underground.
