And what are we to do when the authority says that we should live in 
areas that might flood?
How many layers of authority do we need? Local, regional, county, state, 
federal, international?
What is to do when they disagree?
We all live in tiny houses connected together and work for large 
corporate businesses. No vacations, that is just a waste of energy. Oh, 
boy! I can't wait!
