It appears you are lacking in any sympathy, morality or ethics for the dead. The lack of morality and ethics lies with Houston's political establishment. Edit: 20 years ago I saw predictions of these kind of extreme events I say the leadership in the city to take precautions is a major factor of this disaster and they should be held accountable. This could have been mitigated but they chose a Darwinian solution. |

And building Large Cities, while awaiting the "Big One" (Earthquake). Which will destroy most buildings and kill many. We on the left coast are at least trying to something about it, Is Florida? |

First Harvey, next Irma. Both impacting red states. Coincidence? Divine retribution? I do not care what you think of me. It has nothing to do with the topic. Please try to stay on topic. mmm... Ok As to Divine retribution, I'm not a believer, so it is wishful thinking to me. Har!... Next... ... |

And building Large Cities, while awaiting the "Big One" (Earthquake). Which will destroy most buildings and kill many. The ONLY sane thing to do is to NOT build cities in dangerous areas... If you live in a dangerous area, move. (I did... Houston to DFW, decades ago, because of bad memories of a Cat 5 hurricane that a Tropical Storm brought back). It only takes one major hurricane to make a believer out of you. Same with earthquakes, or at least it SHOULD... https://youtu.be/iY57ErBkFFE #Texit Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016. Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power. |

Still no citing of the "Total Ban on Muslims"...............was that a misremembered item? Or a misconstrued news story? Or was it a concocted lie? .................................. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

The "Big One" will sink parts of California. Do you know what a transform fault is? Obviously not. BTW you can put a building on a shake table and design it to stay in one piece. You might be able to put a building in a wind tunnel and design it to stay in one piece, except for every other thing that flies into it from other buildings. There isn't any need to put a building in the middle of a lake, we know how that turns out. They tell everyone it is the flooding that does the killing in a typhoon. Essentially all of Florida is a flood plain. |

The "Big One" will sink parts of California. Might be a floodplain but not much of a risk of flooding. http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2008/20080320_springoutlook.html Find more current information if you can. ... |

While Irma is on her way to South Florida, Trump will discuss tax reform and tax cuts... "Will be going to North Dakota today to discuss tax reform and tax cuts. We are the highest taxed nation in the world - that will change." https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/905381817695526912 Highest taxed nation in the world ???? There is 30! OECD countries that have higher taxes than the US. Only 3 have less taxes! Or another way to put it. |

If the LA Times is correct then as about a quarter of the DACA people live in CA, then The GOP might be in for a bumpy ride there. Trump's DACA decision could have a sweeping effect on who controls the House in 2018, especially in California |

Actually it surprises me that CA, and maybe along with the rest of the west coast, haven't told Washington DC where to stick their policies and secede. My limited time in the US convinced me that CA is different from the rest of the US. |

Because they, like any other State, could not survive with out Federal tax dollars. Armies, Navies, and infrastructures, etc. are very expensive. ... and still I fear, and still I dare not laugh at the Mad Man! Queen - The Prophet's Song |
