Parkfield IS earthquake related. The question is simple. Why are my tax dollars being dumped into the sands of the middle east when the greatest threat to me and millions of others is a rupture on the SAF? The USGS has the finest scientists in the world. I want more funding for them, and people like Chris who really care about researching the process. I could care less about Iraq. By the way, if the SAF does rupture, that will be at least half a trillion, probably more. Yes?
