So when California has a little quake and all hell breaks loose,
everyone should just give up and leave, right? Oh, darn, San Francisco
residents would have to introduce themselves to the real world. Should the
entire east coast just go ahead and leave now, since they got hurricanes
just as bad? If New York gets slammed by another 9/11, I'd hope they'd cut
and run too! Would you be opposed if Cuba emptied out? Where would Fidel
go? You gonna put him up in your spare bedroom?
Should the entire Midwest leave because tornadoes level everything they
feel like? Should the northern states pack up and go somewhere else because
when it gets really cold, folks die? How about the southwest states,
because folks die when the power fails during a heat wave?

Everywhere you go there'll be something that holds your life in tenuous
hands. Just accept it, don't be surprised by it, and get over it. You can
bitch and whine all you want, but only those worth a **** in my book can
bitch as long as they vote, and put their money where their mouth is.

If you wanted to live a life that never changes or has no future risk,
just kill yourself now. After death is the only time that doesn't change
for you. You just might eventually get cancer, a toe infection, or a broken
fingernail. That horrible possibility alone should be enough to make you
want to find a friendly doctor and have him take you and your fears out of
this world for good.
