You mean...go home?

[CommerceComet]

They definitely will...or they won’t. Guaranteed.

1. Some people like tap-dancing in a minefield, where the minefield is clearly posted with warning signs. Other people decide that perhaps this is not the best of ideas and decide to move elsewhere.

I used to live in SoCal. I left. You could too.

2. Don't live near the New Madrid fault either. Used to live there as well, moved.

3. You can't possibly disagree that the US would be better off without the albatross that is CA. :P

1. I don't want to leave where I live, and I certainly don't want to live in Texas.

2. You don't have to live near the New Madrid fault to have your property destroyed or lose your life if a repeat of the 1811-1812 monsters occurs.

3. Since the state of California provides more tax revenue to other states than it takes in federal spending, represents by far the largest share of national GDP by state, nearly doubling either Texas or New York, and houses the west coast home of the US Marine Corps and numerous US Army, Navy, and Air Force bases yes, I could possibly disagree with the notion the country would be better off without it. Not to mention your desire to see fellow Americans die is posted to the internet via servers located here. May I add that the desire to see Californians die espoused by you and others here is disgusting and a huge black eye to this forum. I guess the next time a major twister plows through Texas I'll keeps you in mind.

I don’t live in Los Angeles, Einstein. I suppose you live in Austin?

[jmacusa]

God. Big difference. And what’s it to you?

[jmacusa]

Brother, when you can take your own inventory then maybe I’ll let you take mine.

[Paleo Pete]

I’ve often wondered about that too, but througout history man has built cities on the remains of previous ones destroyed by earthquakes and volcanoes.

Seems to me if you know that rumbling mountain is a volcano it’s probably not a good idea to live there...ditto for earthquake zones, but they build there every time...

[JimRed]

And what’s it to you?

Only that many are misled by the ritual of confession to a priest who is a sinner like us and may or may not be a servant of the Lord. Your way is better.

[jmacusa]

May the peace of the Lord be with you.
