Combjelly Re..How do you know it would take all of it? IIRC, the linchpin of the fault is at Palmdale, it might not take a lot.< Maybe, maybe not. The simple truth is you need to keep on putting in water, other wise the resistance will just build up. Right now San. Fran can't afford any fresh water so where is this water going to cme from. Also, how can you prove the earth wouldn't have moved regardless. Thirdly, in between large earthquakes, aren't there always smaller movements right now without the water. like Smirk did when his tax cut bill became due in Texas... < First of all. AFAIK GW tax decrease was 1.8 billion. The under tax was 700 million. So the taxpayers of Texas saved 1.1 billion. Why are you so dead set against thrift in gov. Secondly, in case you haven't noticed; Gw was campaigning last yr. and didn't devote that much time to cutting waste in Texas. So most people will see GW as giving them a tax break, and they will equate the shortfall to how badly the other people managed their money while he was campaigning.

Comb, I think that the ongoing development of civilisation along the San Andreas fault is nothing short of bizarre. They are sitting on a non-defusable timebomb. That is the main reason I took my family away from there. I had a great job, and professionally it made no sense for me to leave, but I made a big sacrifice for my children. It is too bad that so many are unwilling to do the same wrt the National Debt. Scumbria
