There's something wrong with the Earth's fengshui

The world has been having some pretty rotten luck lately. I mean, really bad luck as if it broke a mirror, had a black cat cross its path, walked under a ladder and lived in Block 44, #04-44, Fourth Avenue, Singapore 444444.

In the past 12 months, we had the Asian tsunami, Katrina in North America, Stan in Central/South America and most recently, the earthquakes in South Asia. That's a whole lot of natural disaster in a few short months. And we haven't even counted the non-natural disasters, including the bombings in London and Bali. Poor old Earth is being put through the wringer.

There's something whacked about the Earth's fengshui. Perhaps there are too few water elements in its surroundings. Or maybe it is situated at the junction of two planetary paths.

Maybe it's not a fengshui thing, and it really is just blind bad luck. That makes it even more tragic, no? There's nothing worse than feeling completely helpless about events that might irretrievably change lifes.
