how about the tsunami that has killed tens of thousands?

i'd say that greatly dwarfs john (i'm a loser) edwards' lawrence visit -with the simultaneous so-called "coincidental" homeless erradication via bulldozers down by the river a couple of hundred yards away from his rally, the day before his visit. way to go commish!

The moving of tetonic plates at the bottom of the ocean off the Coast of Sumatra. The awesome power wielded by the resulting tsunami that exacted a high price for human life and the question of not why but what could be done to help the unfortunate to rebuild their lives!

I would say the most memorable moment of 2004 was the last two months with the dissappointing re-election of Bush, finalized by the death of hundreds of thousands of people in Asia and surrounding areas.
