I'm with you Ben. I married my soul mate and we have a great marriage, and it is an "act of God." My whole life turned around is an act of God.
There is also something more, the triumph of human character emerges in the face of tragedy. For the first time ever, they are discussing building codes and requirements for building structures in Haiti. In the wake of this tragedy, perhaps cardboard wont suffice for building products.
