Excerpt:
The court in L'Aquila [Italy] sentenced the scientists and a government official Monday to six years in prison, ruling that they didn't accurately communicate the risk of the earthquake in 2009 that killed more than 300 people.

***************

Then again, Italy has a long history of legal abuse of scientists. Galileo comes to mind. And of course, this is the same society that brought the people "justice" in the form of Benito Mussolini.

We, the Court, sentence you to six years jail so that the dumb plebs can have something to aim their anger at that's not us after something beyond anybody's control happened.

"I walk with my head held high and naked in the sun, claiming these streets for myself."--Jonatha Brooke

With the exception of Sophia Loran, the mafia and Galliano, Italy hasn't had anything to give the world in the last two millennia. Hard to believe that's the same people and place Rome once was. I wonder if that's how the USA will look after the metamorphous of 'America' is complete?
