A University of California, Berkeley, seismologist has discovered a way to
provide seconds to tens of seconds of advance warning about impending ground
shaking from an earthquake.
While a few seconds may not sound like much, it is enough time for school
children to dive under their desks, gas and electric companies to shut down or
isolate their systems, phone companies to reroute traffic, airports to halt
takeoffs and landings, and emergency providers to pinpoint probable trouble
areas. Such actions can save lives and money.

"A society whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the
facts, who refuse to believe that their government and their
media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a reality
contrary to verifiable facts, is a society that chooses and
deserves the Police State Dictatorship it's going to get."
