"A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on , and are punished." (Proverbs 27.12) Three days ago a level 6 earthquake shook central Italy produced many hundreds of deaths and property damage.
The historic town of L Aquila east of Rome is the most affected as a result, leaving over 250 dead, 1000 injured and 70,000 homeless.
It is believed that there are more people alive under the rubble so that the rescuers are making every effort to salvage and lifting people out of the places destroyed.
This unfortunate fact also sparked the controversy over an Italian scientist named Giampaolo Giuliani, who predicted this earthquake a month ago, but authorities discredited and Giuliani was forced to remove their ads on the Internet to create panic among the population.
This is a sad episode for the Italian people not only by the loss of human lives but also because they act much negligence before a warning of disaster in that area.
Add to this the unfortunate statements of Silvio Berlusconi, Italian President, suggested that the victims take the situation as a weekend camp.
It seems that the president minimizes the location of pain experienced by people in the town of L 'Aquila, in the best tradition of his countryman historical Emperor Neron.
I prefer to think that this was a fortuitous event that could have happened to any country, but it seems to be a punishment from God to a nation whose negligent authorities have taken as an Easter weekend camping and having fun.
