People living is deserts should not complain about the heat , lack of food
and lack of water.
People living at the base of an active volcano should not complain about
lava in their living rooms.
People who buy trailer homes and park them in tornado alley should not
complain when their homes are stuck up in a tree.
People who live next to a river the floods every year should not complain
when the water rises and floods their property.
People who live on a major fault line should not complain about an ocasional
earthquake.
You make choices in life that affect you down the road. You take your
chances and some gambles pay off , others dont. Having said that the part of
cali that broke off of another continent and is green is very nice to look
at (coastal part). The fault line that made all those scenic mountains
pretty is the same one that knocks your house over every 10 years.

gawd, when will the
Americans learn that a house'd be better built on top of a concrete
slab, or concrete foundation, and then built up with stone?
Well, at least here in California, when a big earthquake hits you do not
want to be inside a concrete or stone box.
