I saw the news where one female home owner there approached Gov. Arnold nagging him on how terraces should've been created on that hillside so the slide would not have occured and how the money that could've been used for that is now being wasted anyway for the rescue effort.
Why O why are some people unbelievably ignorant of nature and it's awesome powers? With the same amount of rain such terraces would've been washed away too. People want lesser government but when something bad happens they want "government" (some body to blame) to rush in for the rescue even when they stuck their own hands in the proverbial fire.
