[QUOTE=clambelly;498195], want the gov't to bail your butt out, (QUOTE]

In this country, at least in theory, it's of the people, for the people and by the people. Don't forget to remind your representative of that. Our goverment, community, fellow americans, etc. should in theory help us all with things that we cannot handle by ourselves. I think good examples are schools, defense and transportation. A bad example is making bad decisions on where to build and expecting the rest of the people to save your investment. We seem to have no problem restricting floodplain development but have a hard time restricting development in coastal regions. Of course it's mostly the lower economic spectrum that ends up in floodplains. Now a nice house on the beach....
Just follow the money
I should'nt complain I build high end second homes for a living. Hard to believe some people need a two million dollar home for two weeks a year. Sort of like $100 plugs

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Lets Go Darwin
