Its not like I didn't have a great time living in California, because I truly did, and in many ways its a delightful civilization in which to participate.
Perhaps its just a cultural comfort I seek, in which the citizenry at least seem aware and prepared for total and utter disaster, any minute now, and live accordingly. I guess its exhausting to live that way, so if it happens, it happens; maybe that liberal and - lets just get out and say it, "Zen-"like mindset truly is just a part of the California love ..
- ghaff 10y agoHonestly, though, I'm not sure anyplace in the US is different. I lived in New Orleans and I was well aware of the hurricane scenarios as well as some of the failure scenarios of Corps of Engineers structures up the Mississippi. (Had a good friend who worked for the Corps.) So it seems a pretty typical attitude in the US. Perhaps it's different elsewhere. Abstractly understand the worst case scenarios, plan to mitigate them (or not), but go on living life.
