Making sense of Ring gate?

Here is some sense on the Ring Gate  – the controversial interview of Ken Ring on Campbell live about prediction of earthquakes. Radio Wammo presented this interview with media commentator Russell Brown. He makes some important points

It does raise a lot of questions, though.

• Why can people like King Ring get such large support and garner a dedicated following?
• What does this say about the prevalence, or lack of, critical thinking in the population at large?
• It look like Ring has taken advantage of the current understandable concern about earthquakes in New Zealand.
• Is this ethical of him? Is it any more ethical than those who take advantage of human tragedies to claim they were caused by their gods. (Incidentally, the website http://www.christchurchquake.net/html/theWarning.html which claimed the Christchurch earthquake was cause by our naughty behavior seems to have been taken down).
