Initially, ignorant people live in stupid places to live, but the question is, after repeated evidence of that truth, when does their ignorance wane and stupidity take over?henry quirk wrote:"When someone does something stupid, it limits the liberty of everyone else because then the govt. expands it's power by making more laws."
Yep.
I live in south Louisiana. Past few days we've had a godawful amount of rain and now have flooding. Civil authorities, over and over, encouraged folks to be sensible and stay off the roads. For one, driving through flood waters is liable to leave a body stranded when the car dies. For another, driving through flood waters stirs up a wake that goes plowing into homes making the bad, worse.
So what did a great many of my fellow Louisianians do? Drive through flood waters, get stranded, get rescued by an already strained EMS and police system; and, cause thousands of more dollars in damage to homes already flooded.
What did local government do in response? Issue curfews to restrain idiots who won't restrain themselves, idiots who now complain about the restraint.
I know moving is hard, but then who do they really have to blame, when the planet is so adamant?
