Glen,

Two years ago in Italy just as a Halloween celebration was about to take place a moderate earthquake struck and children were killed in schools. Did that influence others in the world? I don't think so.

The interesting thing about that quake was that several days before there had been some small tremors and the parents and the local priest tried to influence the school not to have the celebration. No one would listen. They lost teachers too.

If no one believes me when I say children ought to have whistles when they go to bed in that kind of housing, they're nuts. Its so much easier to find them when they don't have much breath to give.
