Oh **** I knew there was an earthquake down in SA that I'd forgotten about, but I wouldn't have guessed Chile anyway. I also listed Sarkozy as the PM of France, but he's actually the president. ****.

Prolly. I just wouldn't be surprised if Chile did that **** too though. Those problems just trickle upwards into Mexico and to our border. It's gotten pretty bad in northern Mexico too. Wouldn't be surprised if the widespread violence extended up into our country in the next few years or so.
