There are only a few places that are not prone to natural disasters, especially as global warming intensifies, we are all going t be affected. I, IMHO, expect more severe weather events. I think that we need to live and design our buildings and lives to coexist with Earth. We should build homes that can withstand all extremes of Earth based on the region, plus these homes should enhance Earth and nature and do no harm. <BR/>Unlike some, I think the government's duty is to provide assistance to vulnerable people, because any one of us alone is vulnerable but when we come together and create social protection networks then we all benefit. After all in the U.S we are the government, it is for the people and by the people. We are all in the same boat. <BR/>We need to respect Earth and we need to respect the welfare of others. Every time you see a vulnerable person, remember this person could (tomorrow) be you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
