"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars. I'd like to go quietly in my sleep, like grandpa did. Not screaming in terror like the people in the back seat of the car he was driving. |

At the first moment I saw the likelihood of losing valuables over the cliff, I'd be moving them back. That includes the workshop, the greenhouse, and the propane tank. At the least, they could have shut off the propane at the tank and chained it back to a deadman. Then getting the concrete base on steel and winching it. Not rocket science. The so called "authorities" are more of a pain in the ass than anything. They train people to be passive and worry about "safety". Safety is relative, and we all need to deal with some risk in our lives. We all die anyway. These folks are seniors and have little to lose as far as lifetime, so live a little and get creative. I don't know if it's possible to bridge the erosion with steel and concrete, and possibly backfill with large rocks. It seems a bit far gone for that. Still, there's little to lose by just living and saving all the plants, tools, buildings, etc., that they can. There's probably time to get the building on steel and be ready to move it back if necessary. The stupid insurance is probably the reason for their passivity - if it was cancelled, they'd probably get moving. They'd better check with their lawyer about the insurance and make sure it covers this eventuality. |
