Agreed. Wishing a catastrophe on ANY US population is childish, in bad taste, and shows one's true colors. But beyond that, Deerwhacker's comments shows extreme ignorance.
I was born and raised 30 minutes north in Chico, Ca. Let me tell you what's in the path of a potential flood:
- Some of the richest almond and walnut orchards in the country. - Some of the most prolific rice fields in the country - Destruction of Feather River corridor, rich in wildlife and diversity - Damage to many Northern Sacramento Valley communities (many of those, conservative areas) - Some of the premier waterfowl stopover habitat in the Pacific flyway, and at least a half dozen critical National Wildlife Refuges plus some of the last decent pheasant habitat in the state - Loss of property and human life
Quite a few classless replies on this post. Some of 24HCF's bottom feeders are in full force tonight...
