Michigan, if it really matters. But there are any number of places that are
FAR safer to live than along the Gulf. I'd sooner live in tornado
alley...at least storms like that are very localized. Living on the Gulf
you get hurricanes AND tornadoes. If people are going to be stupid enough
to live in areas like that, its immoral for gov't to rob us at gun point to
support them when their lives are destroyed.
