5. the masses are not on this planet to be warned

they are here to contribute to their rulers.
The best the masses can hope for is benign
neglect.

the people expand into every liveable niche,
like Bangladesh-to pass US in pop in a decade,
maybe.

Indonesia, becoming an energy importer this
year, will be hard pressed to bring aid.

But Aceh, the area hit, is a big gas/oil (Exxon/Mobil)
producer, and a rebel seccessionist area,
so Jakarta has to do something.

The vise squeezes. Where will the pressure be released.

We haven't heard from the hardest hit areas
yet.
