These days, stupidity is too often rewarded.  That's what our legal system
has boiled down to.

Same types who build their houses on the southeastern seashores and then
whine when a hurricane washes their house out to sea, or who build their
houses at the FOOT of the 40-foot bluff on Black Creek near me, or the
Suwannee River, and then whine when a flood carries their house off . . .
Too dumb to look up to the TOP of that 40-foot bluff and wonder why the guy
up there has his house on stilts!

I grew up across the St. Johns River from Jacksonville Naval Air Station,
right across from the jet-engine test facility.  We got used to it.  Keys
grew up a block and a half from a railroad track.  When we lived under the
flight path to Jacksonville International Airport, the planes bothered him
at first; I was immune.  When we stayed with his parents, the trains in the
middle of the night woke me up; he kept on sleeping.

I do have to say that the roar of those Navy jet engines was right
comforting during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962!

Veloci--some people!--raptor
