I'm not bashing Oregon and Washington I'm just saying that California has lots of faults
I appreciate the fact that you cleaned up the misc doggy bits of food here and there that get tracked through the house, but I don't need them in a nice neat pile on my custom desk with a pile of mouse shit right next to it.
I have no problem with the fixation on California though. It keeps my favorite places on the west coast relatively sparsely populated.
My wife wants to get me an Ipod for Christmas (what a sweetie!), but I was wondering: how hard is it to rip DVDs I already own and put them on it? I don't care if it's technically illegal; I bought the DVDs, and, just like CDs to mp3's, I want to rip them. So how hard is it?
certain area's in Tornado alley in the mid west etc.
Well I agree with you to a point about location. Sadly when it's someplace like southern California, all it takes is some idiot playing with fire, or something throwing a cig butt out a car window to cause hell for everyone else.

Like it matters
No, it just means not living in hilly terrain full of trees and brush. There are lots of relatively open areas, both largely populated and not, that are easier to defend against fires.
fires don't discriminate based on how much money you have.Nope, Location, Location, Location. As I stated - maybe you didn't look at that Malibu disasters website I linked....doesn't make sense to live there obviously.
But that means they'd have to live in the city, with all the... undesirables...
California != west coast
There's a whole other half of the west coast that doesn't get burned to a crisp every year... instead we get pummeled by windstorms and millions lose power
