1601 Who's the victim

A.C. Cargill is a columnist who blogs and recently has asked why we continue to encourage people to live in dangerous places with government bailouts. I wondered about this as I watched the fires in California in areas that should have had more dead wood cleared, and listened to state officials plead for people to return home after the devastation of the hurricanes in August and September. Return to an area that is unsafe, and unable to provide them with good jobs and good schools, incidentally.

"Thanks in large part to FEMA, founded in 1979 by Jimmy “I’m a Peanut Farmer” Carter, almost 50% of the U.S. population lives on our coasts, per a report on CNBC Monday 26 September 2005. People can now live in harm’s way because FEMA will be there to

“lead America to prepare for, prevent, respond to and recover from disasters with a vision of ‘A Nation Prepared.’” (from http://www.fema.gov/about/history.shtm)
