For those not living in the NY/NJ/CT area, the TV coverage is 75% Irene related news still. Hundreds of thousands are still without power, towns are still flooded, roads and buildings are gone... amazing. One's first impulse is to say you'd have to be stupid to live near a river that has the potential to one day flood you out of house of home. But people have been living by the water for time immortal. And what about those who live along fault lines? Or those who live in tornado zones? Or near nuclear power plants? Or in the midst of woods vulnerable to brush fires? Everything we do in life is predicated on probability rather than possibility. I guess everyone is free to choose the level of risk vs. reward that is right for them. - Jeff
