Recently, we were hiking in the sea-facing lava field in the Big Island shortly before a significant earthquake/eruption closed Volcano National Park. We got out of the park about ten minutes before the quake. As for politicians, why hasn't the LA City Council outlawed earthquakes? After all, they can control sea levels, glacial melt, and obesity with their decrees - why not plate tectonics?

It's not like jinxing a no-hitter by mentioning the possibility on the air - which is all too real - ask Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander. ;) Just promise not to open any more fast food restaurants in low income areas and everything will be jake...until the next nanny state decree, anyway. Leave the extortion to the politicians -- it's their field of expertise. Probably just a pleasant coincidence, Roger.
