Alaska is no good. Earthquakes and tsunamis. By the time you
factor in all of the risky areas (left coast, east coast, and
everywhere else due to tornado, hurricane, fire, drought, ice
storm, blizzard or earthquake), you end up trying to park almost
300 million Americans in Churchill Manitoba.

Which the Canadians might not like. As a Canadian, I wouldn't
like...

Oh right, polar bears. That's no good either.

Well, see, I'm in Houston. We don't have forest fires, tornadoes, tsunamis,
snow days, or earthquakes. We DO have hurricanes, but those are universally
viewed as an excuse to party.
