What if just 1 person had built their house over a major fault line?
What if just 1 person had built their house on a sand dune on the coast?
What if just 1 person had built their house in a river flood plane?
What if just 1 person had built their house near the coast in a bowl 7' below sea level?
What if just 1 person had built their house below a volcano?
If disaster came to any one of them, folks would say, "Boy, it was stupid to build your home there. We sure hope you learned something." Then, if the person stated that they plan to rebuild in the same exact spot, and they expect your financial support to do so, people would be outraged at the stupidity and audacity this person displayed. It's amazing to me how the the public's attitude changes when thousands choose to do the same stupid stuff.
As an American, you solely have the freedom to choose where to live, and with that comes the sole responsibility for whatever happens to you as a result of your free choice.
Those who don't learn from history are destined to repeat it.
