    As I understand it, quakes were pretty common in the Springs when NORAD was being built. Apparently they were dumping waste water into a crevice in the Earth...pressure would build up, and there would be a quake...after a few, they stopped doing it.

    More earthquakes as well as more volcanic activity.

    Must be due to global warming. Yeah, that's it.

    Actually, the fault they were pumping crap into was the Old Golden Fault near Rocky Flats. There were several earthquakes in the 5.5 to 6.5 range back in the mid 60s, and historical records going back into the early 1840s.

    The quakes seem to be working their way around the Pacific ring of fire. Makes sense, tectonic plates moving...
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
