Earthquake Drill: Prudent Precaution Or Shady Shakedown By Mike Coughlin

Earlier today, Southern California participated in the largest earthquake drill ever for the U.S.

At 10 a.m., five million people dropped to their knees and covered their heads for a two-minutes pretend earthquake. The last time there were that many Californian's on their knees was at the 1978 San Francisco Gay Pride Parade.
...everyone willingly lies there and does nothing!
Scientists say the drill was necessary to prepare for a potential "catastrophic quake" that is inevitable and long overdue.

Nice scare tactics, science. I think they're just trying to pull a fast one on all those hippie Californians. See, scientists are much smarter than the average criminal. Instead of going into a bank waving AK-47's and ordering everyone on the ground, they organize this drill where everyone willingly lies there and does nothing!

While they're on their knees worried about the San Andreas Fault; the scientists are swiftly raiding the San Andreas Vault. Let's see how it all shakes out.
