re: I gotta quit watching the History Channel
Edgar Cayce predicted that the fault line would break open and drain the Great Lakes down the Mississippi to the Gulf. Interesting thought. And I'm living in some of the oldest mountains in the world and am fascinated at how some of this area was formed. We have some the deepest natural caves in North America and you can go up the steepest of mountain roads and end up in a fertile plateau of farmland and lakes.
As for Lee bitching about "infestation", he needs to take a better look at his own prejudices.
