People have been living in flood plains since man stopped being hunter gatherers. The soil is rich and provides for fertile land for farming. Being on rivers, it often provides great spots to build ports for shipping along major rivers and this cities grow up around that. If you can't figure that out Jerry, well then I am wondering if you even have a mind to boggle.

If people aren't smart enough to get flood insurance without a 75 million dollar PR campaign, they can float in their own mess." It boggles me that people live in a flood plain that has been flooding for ages and expect a different result now. "They should promote house boats in flood country." Or houses on stilts like they do at the beach front. J - Fascism and Communism are merely variants of the same totalitarianism which central control of economic activity tends to produce. - F. A.
