I thought the volcano looked interesting. If you don’t like it tough. It’s on chat. You can always hit the abuse button.

See post 6!

I don’t know if there’s any indication it could go off with a big bang (this type sometimes does), but will be reading more, later...

Find a copy of James Fenemore Cooper’s
The Crater. Great sea story, and it explores the
nature of society.

American traders are ship wrecked on a uncharted
volcanic isle, they homestead it and turn it into
a paradise. They go back to New England load up
a bunch of people and make their way back and found
a community, then the trouble begins. One of the
settlers is a lawyer, one is a newspaper man, one is
a politician. Right away they start taking authority
away from the founders and eventually kick them off
the island. When they finally return, they find
the island gone, it had sunk back into the sea.

Great commentary at one point they are arguing about
the U.S. national debt which was at that time (late 1700s)
around a hundred thousand dollars or so and how the country
could not survive it.
