+1 for the Chinese. Even though their human rights may be lacking; they've got the real heros taken care of.  :-)

I've actually been really impressed with how Chinese officials have been handling the earthquake disaster.

The earthquake happened the morning I left for Arizona. 
At 7:30 the death toll was ~150
At 8:30 it was ~500.
At 9:30 is was ~5000
etc...

Cherubim is plural; Genesis 3:24 specifies one flaming sword. Presumably flaming swords were in short supply."
