Everyone seems so surprised at all the quakes in well-known active fault zone regions.

Chile, Taiwan, Japan, Turkey, the Caribbean, California, and Alaska. I'm not trying to diminish the fact that all these quakes seems ironic, but it really is no more than that. Of course, you have some idiots thinking 2012 has started 2 years earlier.

In movie 2012 it did start 2 years earlier when Sun started to heat core of Earth.
Life imitates art or something.

Anchorage Alaska was about destroyed by an earthquake in the 60's.  The whole Pacific Rim is active so of course Alaska is active.

Whats funny is I do believe the sun is at its peak right now for solar flares for the next couple years.

Solar flares don't cause heating on the earth.  The sun cannot warm the earth's core without melting the surface.  Geez, did everybody flunk Science 101?

Get with the game Dog Walker, they even made a movie about it and hundreds of schlock books have been written.  It has to be true ;).  I personally think its HAARP, or dick cheney in his underground lair!!

Didn't you know?  Dick Cheney is the secret director of HAARP.  I read it in a headline while standing in line at the supermarket.  Must be true.
